The school was formed in 2012 from a merger of Holgate School and The Kingstone School.[1] It is on a new campus which contains facilities for leisure, cultural activities and adult learning to be used by the local community. There is capacity, if needs be, to teach groups as large as 65,[2] using the classrooms that have removable walls.
Anne, Princess Royal visited the School on 4 July 2014 where she met the local MP (Dan Jarvis), the executive principal (Nicholas Bowen) and a small selection of pupils.[3]
