History

The school was founded my the merger of two single-sex schools in 1978 under the name 'Hartford High School'. The school then became a voluntary aided Church of England secondary school at the end of the 2012 academic year. In this process the school motto was changed to "Caritas et veritas" (love and truth) and the logo had a representation of a cross added to it.[2]

Until the end of the 2019 academic year, the school was a split-site school, with the two main buildings being the 'West Building' and the 'East Building'. Located approximately 200 metres apart, the two buildings were linked by a secure path for students, separate to public realm areas. The 'East Building' has been replaced with a £7m[3] new building on the West site. Upon demolishing the 'East Building' the school is now on one site with the exception of the small Science & Administration Building located in the East site.
