It does not have a sixth form. It is situated on Humberston Avenue (B1219 - off the A1031) in the west of Humberston. Further to the west along the B1219 is the Tollbar Academy, and the school is less than one mile north of Lincolnshire (East Lindsey - Tetney and Holton-le-Clay, which has grammar schools). Directly to the west is the Humberston Country Club golf club.
It opened in 1977 as Humberston Comprehensive School.[1]
Until 1996 it was administered by Humberside Education Committee, based in Beverley. It gained specialist status in 2006.
In January 2009 it was placed in special measures.[2] From September 2009, the school name changed from Humberston School to Humberston Maths and Computing College,[3] and offered evening computing courses to local residents.
In the last round of GCSE exams, the school gained well above-average results, quite unusual for the Grimsby area. It gained the third best GCSE results for North East Lincolnshire; the top three schools are all on the outskirts of the borough.
