It was founded in the late 1950s as St Bede's College in Royal Leamington Spa, before moving to its current site in 1966. It occupies a former Benedictine monastery surrounded by 200 acres of parkland. It is the senior school of the Warwickshire Catholic Independent Schools Foundation (WCISF) following a merger with Crackley Hall School in 2002. The school welcomes children of all denominations and is characterised by its strong Christian ethos.
