It operates across two sites; 11-16 at Walton Road and the sixth form based at the Tendring Education Centre on Jaywick Lane.

The sixth form is working in partnership with other local schools to provide post-16 years education in the Clacton area.

Pupils had to pay for the privilege of attending this school, twelve guineas per year (£12.60), as well as buy all their own books, materials and instruments.

During the Second World War, a German bomber with sea mines crashed near the school on Victoria Road in April 1940.
