[4] The school was built on the site of Forest Farm and was designed in the Tudor style by William Jacques ARIBA, who was the architect for the Leyton Urban District Council. [5]
In 1968, it was renamed Leyton Senior High School for Girls when it became a comprehensive school for 14- to 18-year-old girls. In 1986, it became a mixed comprehensive under a borough re-organisation of schools and changed its name to Leytonstone School.
