The original school buildings were completed by 1874.[2] The school later became a comprehensive after World War II.[3]
The school is Camden's first private finance initiative (PFI) school and underwent a £21 million re-build in 2006.[4]
An Ofsted inspection in 2008 resulted in a judgement of Good, and that of 2017 as requiring improvement.[citation needed] It then achieved a result of Good following a further inspection.
In 2018, 66% of students achieved a grade 4 (equivalent to the old C) in Maths and English—an improvement from the previous year's 31% result.[5]
