Founded in 1878, it moved in 1884 to its present premises in spacious grounds in the pleasant suburb of Broomhill. The junior department at Melbourne House and the separate sixth-form centre are on the same site. Many additions have been made to the original Victorian buildings. Recent facilities include a sixth-form centre, sports hall, an art, design and technology suite; a music suite, multi-media centre and drama studio. It provides a sound general education and examination results are very good. There is a full programme of music, dance, drama and art, involving many pupils. A wide range of sports and games is offered and high standards are achieved in many, particularly in athletics, hockey, netball, trampolining and rounders. There are many extra-curricular activities, including the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Scheme, a substantial commitment to local community services and a variety of overseas trips.
