The school was known as Lowestoft County Grammar School, and previous to that, Lowestoft Secondary School. The original building, built in 1909–1910 by Brown and Kerr is a Grade II Listed Building.[2]. It is built in Queen Anne style and includes the main hall.[2]
The school became a comprehensive in 1971. In September 2004 it was designated by the Department for Education and Skills as a specialist school as a Business and Enterprise College.[3]
In September 2011 the school became an 11 to 16 school as part of the reorganisation of schools in Lowestoft by Suffolk County Council. Pupils in years 7 and 8 joined the school after the closure of eight middle schools in Lowestoft. The opening of Lowestoft Sixth Form College also meant that the school lost it's role in the Lowestoft 6th consortium which had operated as a shared sixth form between the high schools in the town.
