It serves the town of Droitwich Spa and the surrounding villages with 1395 students enrolled, including 276 students in the sixth form. The school was opened following the closure of the Droitwich Secondary School, the building is now Witton Middle School. The buildings have grown in size from the original administration, science, sport, languages and technology blocks. The actual site for the School is an island. In August 1992, the drama and music block was burnt in an arson attack. The building took 4 years to be fully rebuilt. The Maths block was also struck by lightning in 2007. An Ofsted report in 2008 awarded the school a Grade 2 (good). Droitwich Spa High School celebrated its 40th anniversary on 9 July 2011 with a fête and reunions of old school colleagues. Previous teachers have included Chas Newby and Jacqui Smith. The High School became an academy in July 2011.
