It was founded by a Baptist Minister and his wife, and moved to several different places before the purchase of its current premises after the Second World War.

Tudor Hall was founded in 1850 in Salisbury, by the Rev.John Wood Todd and his wife Martha,[1] and moved to the Forest Hill area of London in around 1854, initially at Perry Hill House, and later at Red Hall, or Tudor House, from which the school's name emerged.

At the outbreak of World War II, the school relocated to Burnt Norton, near Chipping Campden, Gloucestershire, to escape the air raids.

New boarders are usually assigned an older girl to assist them with adjustment into boarding life.

Unlike many schools, Tudor Hall uses an unusual nomenclature for its year groups.
