The school buildings appear to date from the late 1950s. They were part of a larger complex of school buildings on a nearby, but not adjoining, site on Gressel Lane. Two schools used the sites, the Wilfred Martineau School, and the Bing Kenrick Central School, which was itself an merger of two earlier schools, Bing Kenrick Girls' Grammar School and Central School (originally a boys's school). In 2001 the two schools became The International School and Community College. The Sheldon Hall Avenue site was later closed and between 2013 and 2017 provided slum housing for property guardians. The buildings were then demolished and houses built on the site. The larger Gressel Lane site (not visible in this photo) continues to be used as a school.
