History

The school was opened, at Hellesdon House, in September 1924 by Mrs C. P. Andrews. In 1938, the school moved to the Old Hall in Hethersett, a building which dates back to the 17th and 18th centuries.[1] A sixth form was established in September 1984. The school is celebrating its 75th birthday in 2013.
