[4] On 6 October the school was officially opened by Sir John Reith, the Director-General of the BBC.

He remained in the position to oversee the move of the school, before resigning to become rector of Madehurst in Sussex.

[7] It is derived from the history of the site as for 500 years the Bishops of Worcester rested at the grounds of the school on their journeys to and from London.

[8] During the Second World War, the school was used for rallies and inspections of the local Girls' Training Corps.

[9] Randalls of Uxbridge, a local family-owned department store, donated three oak chairs to the school in October 1949.

[11] The London Borough of Hillingdon held council meetings in the school hall while the Civic Centre in Uxbridge was under construction.

[13] An episode of Jeeves and Wooster starring Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry was filmed in the school grounds.

Previous headteachers are Kim Rowe (2011 to 2019), David Bocock (2004 to 2011), Vincent Hodkinson (1996 to 2004) and Leslie Bather (1970–1996).
