Previously a community school administered by Warrington Borough Council, William Beamont Community High School converted to academy status in 2013 and was renamed Beamont Collegiate Academy. The school is now sponsored by Warrington Collegiate,[2] however the school continues to coordinate with Warrington Borough Council regarding its admissions.

The school moved into a new building in 2016, funded by the Government's Priority Schools Building Programme, on the same site and constructed by Wates Group.[3]

Jesse Lingard, current Manchester United F.C. midfielder who is on loan at West Ham United, also attended the school.[4]
