History
editIt was originally formed as a boys school, Bushbury Hill School, in 1931, but later became co-educational and was renamed Moreton Community School. Previously a community school administered by Wolverhampton City Council, in March 2017 Moreton Community School converted to academy status and was renamed Moreton School. The school is now sponsored by the Amethyst Academies Trust.[2]
Although the school technically has a sixth form provision, in practice all sixth form education within the Amethyst Academies Trust now takes place at Aldersley High School. A new sixth form centre was built at Aldersley High School in 2019.
