Previously a foundation school administered by Wolverhampton City Council, Aldersley High School converted to academy status in January 2013. However the school continues to coordinate with Wolverhampton City Council for admissions, with many pupils who attend the school coming from the Dovecotes area of the city.

Aldersley High School offers GCSEs and BTECs as programmes of study for pupils, while students in the sixth form have the option to study from a range of A-levels and further BTECs.
