The school first opened on January 29th 1973 and was designed under the Ministry of Health prior to Special Schools becoming the responsibility of the Ministry of Education under the 1970 Education Act; as a result it was taken over and built by the Education Authority.
In 2015 the school moved in to brand new, purpose-built premises in Deepcut, Camberley.
