Opening in 2019 & Temporary Site

The new school is the third newly opened school by the Bohunt Education Trust. It opened in a temporary site in Hurst Road, Horsham in September 2019, with 120 students joining in the first year.[3] The trust announced the Head Teacher in November 2018.[4]

Permanent Site

The school plans to relocate to a new, purpose built site, to the North of the town on Rusper Road in 2020.[5] This comes of a wider development of the area with the addition of up to 2,750 homes, a business park, and sports facilities.[3][6]
