Foundation The school was founded by the
Daughters of the Cross in 1893 and is situated in twenty-five acres of parkland with some notable buildings. The main building on the property was once Carshalton House, a grand manor house built in the early eighteenth century by Edward Carleton. It was the home of the physician,
Dr. John Radcliffe, until his death in 1714. Other owners included
Sir John Fellowes, 1st Baronet, Sub-Governor of the
South Sea Company;
Lord Anson, admiral; and
Philip Yorke, 1st Earl of Hardwicke, Lord High Chancellor.
Modern In 2004, the school was awarded
Technology College status. In April 2006, it was awarded a Language College status alongside the Technology College status. In 2007, a new Learning Resource Centre, including a library, was opened. In 2016, a new classroom block, the Veritas Centre opened. The new block consists of eight total classrooms, the ground floor accommodating two Food Technology classrooms and two Science laboratories, and the upper floor with dual-purpose Arts and Textiles classrooms. Staff/equipment rooms that connect between classrooms are also on each floor. ==Inspections==
