Holyhead is a highly successful Inner Ring 11-18 Academy. The neighbourhood is in the top 10% of deprived areas nationally and 47% of students are entitled to free school meals. There are 1,300 students on roll including 235 in the Sixth Form, with the vast majority of year 13 students seeking university places.

In September 2022 all Year 13 students intending to go to university took up places at their chosen university. The A level exam results in the summer of 2022 saw 47% achieving A*-B, 78% A*-C and 98% A*-E. The school and community are rightly proud of these results.
