The school was founded in 1909 and established as a comprehensive in 1971. In 1955 the school was moved from Violet Hill Road to the Onehouse Road site it occupies today.

The school was awarded Technology College status in March 2001, and has been renewed in 2006. This has seen the creation of new computer suites in the school as well as improved provision for technology students.
