Originally opening with the name Edenham High School, named from Eden Park and Ham Farm in the local area, the school stayed a foundation school administered by Croydon London Borough Council until 2015 when the Greenshaw Learning Trust converted the school into an academy status. Edenham was the last secondary school in the borough to become an academy^[3].
