The school was first established in 1688 after Archbishop William Sancroft granted funds to Emmanuel College, Cambridge to pay a clergyman to teach in Harleston. Sancroft had to gain permission from the monarch James II to found the school.

The school occupied its current premises in 1964. Since then the school has continued to expand and has in recent years been over-subscribed, with students travelling some distance in Norfolk and Suffolk to be educated at the school.

In 2018, the school became the first secondary school as part of the Diocese of Norwich's St Benet's Multi-Academy Trust.
