[edit] History

The school became independent from the local Parish school in Hayes village in 1956. At this time, the school took solely male students and consisted only of Gadsden, a Victorian Gothic mansion which now houses the present day Reception, schools offices etc. Soon after its opening, the school accepted students of both sexes and rapidly expanded. In 2006 it celebrated its 50th Anniversary with a fair, which also acted as a Fundraising event.
