[5][6] From 2011 to 2014 the school operated, in partnership with Sir Herbert Leon Academy, the Milton Keynes South Sixth Form.

[8] The school was last graded by Ofsted as good and was previously requires improvement, satisfactory and inadequate.

[12] In December 1962 a new tower block was built on the grammar school site in order to accommodate the grown student population of 530.

The previous facilities of Wilton County Secondary School were expanded upon, providing new accommodation.

Pavlou would prove a divisive figure because of her strict zero-tolerance administration and anti-bullying policies.

[2] Despite this she was accused of bullying and harassing staff and pupils and of using "school money to buy champagne, wine, a wooden shed and a business class flight to Australia.

[16][17] In March 2006, Pavlou was reported to have punched Deputy Headteacher Linda Lennox in the face during an argument regarding her zero-tolerance policies.

A police investigation was undertaken[18][19] and Pavlou was found guilty of unacceptable professional conduct some years later.

[20] Roger Conibear would be replaced that same year by Jill Coughlan MBE who would serve as headteacher until 2009.

Under her tenure the school became a specialist humanities college in 2006, fell from good to satisfactory in the Ofsted ranks in 2007 and was granted Comenius status.

Before becoming headteacher at Weston Favell, Jones was previously the deputy head of Lord Grey.

In 2016 Jones' school uniform policies fell victim to mainstream media coverage after she called students who wore short-skirts and slim-fitting trousers "hefty" after banning them, resulting in parents accusing her of fat shaming.

[33] Lord Grey has four school houses: Lorenz (red),[34] Enigma (blue),[35] Colossus (silver)[36] and Turing (gold),[37] whose names relate to World War II code-breaking work at Bletchley Park.

[40] The council has multiple representatives per year group from each house and also has a student principal team in the school's sixth form.

The upper school's curriculum also follows exam board requirements and is personalised, with students picking their KS4 options in Year 9.
