The school offers GCSEs as programmes of study for pupils, with a small number of pupils attending Central College Nottingham for vocational courses. It previously held Technology College status as part of the (now defunct) Specialist Schools Programme.
Previously a community school administered by Nottingham City Council, in December 2013 an Ofsted inspection judged Farnborough School Technology College to be 'Inadequate'. The rating meant the school was placed in special measures.[1] The school converted to academy status in January 2015 and was renamed The Farnborough Academy. It was then operated as part of the Trent Academies Group,[2] however, in September 2018 Trent Academies Group merged with the Spencer Academies Trust.
