The site in Bagshot Road was purchased from Crown Lands. In March 1962, Archard and Partners, London architects, designed the school, initially consisting of five classrooms, an assembly hall, cloakroom, staffroom, office, medical room and headteacher's office. Bell and Co, Westminster, were awarded the building contract and began work on 19 April 1962. A year later on 10 April 1963 saw the last day of school in the Social hall as the new school was ready for occupation when the children returned after the Easter holiday on 29 April 1963.
