In 2007, 69% of pupils gained 5 grade A-C GCSEs, including English and Maths, the best for state schools in the East Riding of Yorkshire, with almost 2000 students.[citation needed]

South Hunsley School is rated outstanding by Ofsted, and is placed in the top 3% of schools nationally.

The school was founded as South Hunsley County Secondary School in 1956. It occupies 48 acres (0.19 km2), and has been expanded since opening.

In late 1960s, money was raised for a swimming pool. In June 1968 a contract was signed for a heated pool. The pool opened in 1970, being officially opened in June 1972.

Over the half-term, in the early hours of Saturday 26 October 1991, a fire gutted the staff room. Police suspected arson by someone with a grudge, with £300,000 of damage.
