History

[edit]

The building itself was constructed in 1974. Until 2017 the school's motto had been "opportunity for all", it was then changed to “Achieving Excellence Together”.

By 1989 the school began having classes in Japanese as a foreign language. Mike Howarth, then the headmaster, had taken Japanese classes.[1]
