History

The school was officially opened by Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, in 2009. It replaced the Bishop Reindorp School, built in the 1960s.^[2]

In 2015, a minibus used by the school caught fire with eight children onboard.^[3] Three of the children were wheelchair users and were unable to leave the bus independently. They were rescued by the driver and some passers-by. Nobody was harmed in the incident.^[4]
