The school, situated in Fairlawn Road, Montpelier, began life in 1898 as Fairfield Secondary and Higher Grade School. It was accorded grammar school status in 1945, after the 1944 Education Act. In Easter 2006 the site was replaced with a new school in a different location as this building only had capacity for 500 pupils, which was deemed insufficient.
