The school opened at its former east Enniskillen location in October 1931. It originally catered for eighty eight pupils, with only four classrooms. It was the first grammar school in the province to be erected by a public body. Over the years, many extensions were made to the original building and in 2006–07 the school celebrated seventy-five years on the site. At its closure approximately 500 pupils attended the school.

The Collegiate Grammar School merged with Portora Royal School to form the co-educational Enniskillen Royal Grammar School,[1] as from 1 September 2016.
