The school was formerly known as the 'Crewe Grammar School for Girls' until the late 1970s. In the very early years of the school it was known as Kings Way when it was at its old site, now home to South Cheshire College. the main Kings Way building (Formerly the Summerville Centre) was still in use until 2009 when it was demolished for the new South Cheshire College building. Until the Kings Way site was closed by the school in the 1980s it ran along side the Buchan Grove site with a path going along the school field.
In 2008, the school was awarded specialist Business and Enterprise College status, following this the school has set up its own School Shop, Bank and Travel Agency. The school has also been awarded 'Fairtrade' status.
The school has produced and performed many shows at the Lyceum Theatre (Crewe) including Into the Woods, The King and I, The Sound of Music and most recently Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, all put together by Mr Morgan and Mrs O'Brien. The school will be performing the play Evita (musical) in early 2012 at the Lyceum Theatre.
