History

In June 2022, the Haberdashers began a consultation on proposals to merge the Boys and Girls schools, making them fully coeducational. [4] [5] The combined new school was officially opened in October 2024 by the Duke of Edinburgh. [6] In December 2024, the school was visited by Jimmy Choo, who hosted two workshops for the pupils. [7] Choo is the schools Patron of Fashion, Design, and Textiles. [8] In February 2025, the Haberdashers' Company announced the appointment of Melvyn Roffe as the school's new head, effective from August 2025. [9]
