History
Thames Valley Grammar School opened in 1928 under one of the youngest headmasters in the country, Mr H. W, Bligh. Initially conceived as a boys school, unusually for the time it opened, and remained, as a co-educational establishment. Bligh remained at the school until his retirement in 1960, succeed by Dr. Mortimer who, in turn, remained at the school until its closure.
Its final secondary intake was in 1972 and from 1973 it gradually changed into a sixth-form college; Thames Valley Sixth Form College.
In 1977, the college merged with the Shene College and Twickenham Technical College at the Technical College site in Egerton Road to become Richmond upon Thames College. The Thames Valley site became home for Kneller Girls' School in 1978 who merged on the same site with Twickenham County School for Girls in 1980 to become Waldegrave School for Girls.
