The school was founded in 1841 by an Act of Parliament as Woodstock's first grammar school. Its growth forced a series of physical moves; the school relocated in 1851, 1881, and to its present site in 1939.[1][2]
The school faced possible closing at the end of the 20th century. It underwent major faculty improvements, including renovating science classrooms,[2] that were completed in 2001.[1]
