Formerly The Grange Comprehensive School, in June 2007 plans were announced for the school to close and to merge with The Heath School in 2012.^[2] However, the Education & Skills Select Committee raised objections to the proposal^[3] and it was decided that the school would join the adjacent Grange Nursery School, The Grange Infant School and The Grange Junior School to be an all-through school to be named The Grange School.^[4] Following improved examination results in 2008, the plan to merge with The Heath School was cancelled^[5] and the school became all-through in September 2010.
