The school is the successor of the former voluntary aided grammar school of Keswick, founded at the latest by 1591.[2]

The symbols on the schools crest are a reference to the miracles of Saint Mungo.[citation needed]. When the school was a Grammar School, it had a school song in Latin which began "Assurgit Skidda stabilis / Mons nunquam non durabilis", referring to the nearby Skiddaw.

Two pupils of the school were killed on 24 May 2010 when a coach returning from a school trip was involved in a traffic collision on the A66 road.[3]
