The school was designed by Richard Sheppard, Robson & Partners and opened in the late 1950s. [3] It was a community school administered by Medway Council, however the school was converted to academy status on 1 April 2012.

The school sees itself as a traditional girls school with a sense of togetherness pervading the school. Diversity, aspiration, honesty and personal integrity are encouraged leading to motivation, self-discipline, self-resilience and individual responsibility. Students are expected to show kindness to others. [6]

Though pastorally the school divides into Lower School (Year 7-Year 8), Middle School (Year 9 Year 10) and Upper School (Year 11 & Sixth Form) it runs a three-year Key Stage 3, and a two-year Key Stage 4, and shared sixth-form provision. [6]
