The school was officially opened on 19 October 1993 achieving the consolidation of four former Buxton schools on the site of the previous Buxton College. The school is a specialist sports college. The headteacher is Sam Jones.

In 2010 an Engineering Centre was added to the site and was officially opened by The Duke of Devonshire on the 13th October. 

A 3G artificial all-weather grass pitch was a further addition in 2012 and this opened by Howard Webb MBE.
