The school was originally a ladies' school and the boys' school did not open until 1813. It became a girls-only school in 1915. The primary section later became coeducational, although this is now being extended throughout the school.The Church is still responsible for the school but responsibility is now exercised largely through the school’s local board of governors, chaired by one of the Church trustees.A history of the school was published in 2000 as part of the bicentenary celebrations (1799–1999).In March 2012 the board of governors announced the decision to extend the 11+ intake to boys beginning in September 2013 as a step towards coeducation.BuildingsThe main building in the school, referred to as "main school" is used for most lessons and houses the English, Maths, Humanities and Languages departments, along with other smaller classrooms for 6th form use. The main school also provides form rooms for years 7–11, along with a dedicated Sixth Form area.
