The original school at the site was the all boys, Blackpool Grammar School, which had relocated from the original premises on Raikes Parade to Blackpool Old Road in the early 1960s. In 1971 they amalgamated with Collegiate Girls School whose pupils and staff moved to Blackpool Old Road to create Blackpool Collegiate Grammar School. The sixth form moved to a new Sixth Form Centre premises further down Blackpool Old Road also in 1971 and what is now the independent Blackpool Sixth Form College which split from the school in 1989. The school became Collegiate High School in the mid-1970s.^[2]
