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]
