The Old House, a locally  listed building, was originally the home of George Singer (1847–1909), who had the mansion built in 1890–91. The school opened on the site in 1953 as an all girls comprehensive school. Over time, as the number of students increased, the original buildings proved to be too small and the school was extended – with the Home Economics Block (which later became the Post 16 Centre), School Hall (circa 1954), the North Block (constructed circa 1955–56) and the South Block. A Physical Education block with swimming pool and 2 sports halls was constructed. A section of the Old House was damaged by  fire in 1956 and subsequently rebuilt. In 2007, a new Performing Arts and Post 16 Centres were built. In 2016, a new four-court sports hall was opened. Recent achievements.
