Originally this was Tewkesbury's Secondary Modern both for Girls and Boys, note the titles above the two entrances. In the early 1960s the girls went to Elmbury School. The boys followed to Elmbury in 1972 when all of the secondary schools in Tewkesbury were merged into one, becoming Tewkesbury Comprehensive. It was opened in 1906 after the 1902 Education Act. The building is no longer a school as a new building has been provided in gardens to the rear. In 2010, it became the Noah's Ark Children's Centre.
