The new premises were officially opened in 1908 as Camborne Grammar School and were built to accommodate pupils from the Camborne-Redruth area, extending from Gwithian in the west to St. Agnes in the east and south to villages such as St Day and Troon.
The first headmistress of Camborne Grammar School was Miss Pratt and up until the 1930s the number of pupils increased.
In 1933 Miss Evans became headmistress and during the depression years the numbers attending the school decreased.
With the Education Act 1944 the kindergarten and preparatory department were closed and there were no more fee payers in the school.
These later became merged and renamed Trevithick County Primary until 1997, in which the school moved to a new building further down the road.
Local parents have formed a campaign group to try to force the Council to reconsider their actions.

It gives local people the chance to enjoy a beautiful old building with services available on one site including a sensory playground, cafe, toy library, day care and after school clubs catering from nursery to teens as well as support for families.
