Previously a community school administered by Plymouth City Council, Tor Bridge High converted to academy status on 1 August 2011. The school is now part of the Tor Bridge Partnership which includes Plym Bridge Nursery, Tor Bridge Primary School and Cann Bridge School.[2] However Tor Bridge High continues to coordinate with Plymouth City Council for admissions.

Tor Bridge High offers GCSEs and BTECs as programmes of study for pupils,[3] while students in the sixth form have the option to study from a range of A-levels, OCR Nationals and further BTECs. Some courses are offered in conjunction with Lipson Co-operative Academy and Sir John Hunt Community Sports College. The school is also an associate partner college of Plymouth University.
