The London Nautical School was established in 1915 in response to the Titanic disaster and subsequent Government inquiry.

In 1990, it became one of the country's first 11–18 comprehensive secondary schools for boys to be awarded grant-maintained status.

In September 1999, it became a foundation school and was awarded Sports College status in 2003.

The school maintains its own fleet of boats on the River Thames and hosts its own Sea Cadet Unit.
