History
The school was founded in 1725 by a wealthy Chertsey merchant, Sir William Perkins. Originally for twenty five boys, the school extended its education to include twenty-five girls in 1736. It moved to purpose-built accommodation on its present twelve-acre site in 1819. In 1944, the school became a voluntary controlled grammar school for girls maintained by Surrey Education Authority and in 1978 became fully independent as an educational foundation administered by trustees.
Curriculum
The 2010 ISI inspection rated the school curriculum as "excellent". The school has had a tradition of academic excellence and is often at the top of examination result tables in the county.
The school adopted the Harkness Table in 2016..
