The College first opened on 9 September 1963 as a modern secondary school serving the Mid-Sussex area. It was originally situated in the nearby town of Haywards Heath but relocated to its current site at the northwestern edge of Burgess Hill in September 2004.
In April 2013, the College was appointed as a National Teaching School and National Support School by the Department for Education.
The college accepts children from the age of eleven through eighteen. There are six houses in the school: Athens, Corinth, Valletta, Damascus, Lystra, and Rome.
The school has expanded the role of e-learning in the classroom, as well as being a fair-trade school, encouraging student support for both local and international good causes.
