The school was built in the 1970s as Mildenhall Upper School and opened to students in 1976. Previously, it was awarded Technology, Applied Learning and Science College status and changed its name to Mildenhall College of Technology. In 2012 two extra year groups formally joined the school, Years 7 and 8 pupils educated at the former Riverside Middle School site, at Sheldrick Way. The school reverted to its original name of Mildenhall College at this time. The school converted to academy status on 4 July 2014 and was renamed Mildenhall College Academy. On 14 June 2020 the academy moved to its new main building in the Mildenhall Hub at Sheldrick Way. MCA6 operates a separate but adjacent specialised sixth form building.
