For the new school year in September 2006, as part of a reorganisation of secondary education in Leeds, the school was rebuilt with new staff and a new headmaster, Simon Flowers. Carr Manor was set to lose its sixth form but gain extra buildings,[3] however, the school retained its sixth form along with a new building. The school was earmarked for closure before the new school was built. However, after opposition from politicians, parents, staff and pupils, a new school was built to replace the old two buildings.[4][5] The school was officially opened by Rt. Hon. Tony Blair, Prime Minister on 15 March 2007.[6] The school opened a primary phase in 2012.
In 2014 the school federated with Wetherby High School.
