The academy offers a range of different opportunities to all pupils, including extra curricular clubs. In 2012 Wye Valley achieved 47% A*-C grades (including English and Mathematics) at GCSE with the results below national level placing it in the 4th quantile in comparison to other schools. In 2017, Bourne End Academy achieved 65% A*-C grades (including English and Mathematics) at GCSE.[2] In 2018 the school's GCSE results were -0.28, below average.

The latest national performance data from the Department of Education recognises E-ACT Bourne End Academy as the top comprehensive secondary school in Buckinghamshire with 58% of students achieving a Grade 5 or higher in English and Maths.
In September 2018 the school was taken over by E-ACT and has recently received an Ofsted Inspection rated 'Good' and 'Outstanding' in Leadership and Management. In 2014 E-ACT downsized and 10 schools were re-brokered to other multi-academy trusts. It has since started expanding again. Pupils from E-ACT Burnham Park Academy, which was officially closed due to falling pupil numbers but E-ACT always had planned on merging the 2 schools, were offered the opportunity of transferring to Bourne End Academy.
