The school opened as Wadebridge Secondary Modern School in March 1957.[1] The building was designed by F. K. Hicklin, county architect.[2]
In 2004, the school gained specialist business and enterprise college status.
Wadebridge converted to academy status in April 2012.[3]
In 2020, the school closed its sixth form.
In 2006 the school came in second place behind Truro High School in the league tables for the average A-level points score per student in Cornwall. This meant that Wadebridge School beat the independent and selective Truro School into third place, a feat that was achieved again in 2008.[4][5]
