The school was opened in 1960 as Ashby and then Bottesford Grammar School, being renamed Frederick Gough Grammar School after Alderman Frederick Gough, the first Chairman of Governors of the school. It became a comprehensive school in 1968 following the introduction of the Comprehensive School system by the Labour Government in 1965. The first intake of pupils in the new system started in September 1968 and were split with half (Coed) attending the Frederick Gough School and half (Coed) going to the Ashby Girls Secondary School.

Frederick Gough school has been known as a "Specialist Languages College", but that title was recently disowned. The school teaches French (higher set only, excluding GCSE option) and Spanish.

In 2014 the school benefited from BSF (Building Schools for the Future), a programme introduced by the government. From this it received new toilets, a 3G Sports Pitch, a new sports block and hall and a new English block.
