The School was officially opened as a Secondary Modern School on 21st October 1958, by John Welch a former chairman of Lancashire Education Committee and of No. 2 Divisional Executive (Lancaster and Morecambe).  The building was dedicated by the Rural Dean of Garstang, the Rev. A. B. Dex.

 

The school comprised a two-storey teaching block and was equipped to take 300 students and was one of the first of its kind in the county.  The cost was £99,500.

 

Its first pupils, 256 of them, and staff (12) were admitted to the new school on 9th September.
