It is part of the Kemnal Academies Trust (a Multi Academy Trust that oversees a number of secondary and primary schools).[1] The school was opened by the Duke of Norfolk in September 1963,[2] and was once the second smallest high school in West Sussex. It caters for up to 750 pupils in Years 7 to 11.[1] It became an academy on 1 September 2011.[3]
On 21 August 2016 a fire broke out at the Academy causing extensive damage. [4]
