Mrs Jo Bull (another former deputy head) then took over from Mrs Manson as Headteacher, being officially appointed on 24 October 2017 and serving as Interim Headteacher until this time. When the Dudley Academies Trust took over the school in September 2018 and it transitioned from The High Arcal School to become Beacon Hill Academy, the college made significant changes to the leadership teams of all of their Academies, this saw Jo Bull resign after less than 18 months in the role, Mr Sukhjot Dhami took on the role as interim Principal and was supported by Angelina Robin-Jones (Executive Principal of the academies trust).
