Performance

As with other schools, latest exam results and related data are published in the Department for Education's national tables.^[3]

History

The school was opened in 1956 to provide education for the children of the newly constructed estate. The school was built in the grounds of the Georgian Grey Court House from which it took its name. The house itself was renamed Newman House after Cardinal Newman, who lived there as a child in the early 19th century.^[4]

In 2013, and again in 2018, the school was rated outstanding by Ofsted, having previously been satisfactory. The sixth form was included in Ofsted's 2018 inspection.^{[citation needed]}

In March 2018, the sixth form building was named 'The True Building' after Lord True, Conservative politician and former Leader of Richmond upon Thames Council.^{[citation needed]}

Notable former pupils

Declan Rice, professional footballer who plays for Arsenal F.C. and England^[5]
Ruby Bentall, actress^[6]
Andrew Gilligan, transport advisor to the Prime Minister, journalist and former London Cycling Commissioner^[7]
