The school was officially opened by Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, in 2009. It replaced the Bishop Reindorp School, built in the 1960s. In 2015, a minibus used by the school caught fire with eight children onboard. Three of the children were wheelchair users and were unable to leave the bus independently. They were rescued by the driver and some passers-by. Nobody was harmed in the incident.
