The first headmaster was Mr J Storey, and because of the war the school was also used as a hospital and refuge shelter (hence why it has such wide corridors).

In 1972 the first extension was built to accommodate the large number of pupils and to bring the school up to date this included a gym science labs maths and textile classrooms.

It was extended again at a cost of £4 million in 1999 to accommodate the influx of students when Queen Anne's School closed.
