History
The school was founded as the Stepney Cottage Homes in 1901 by the Stepney Board of Guardians and was designed by the architect Frank Baggallay. Later plans from 1940-1950 show several buildings and an air raid shelter. The infirmary was demolished around 1980.
The school was originally administered by the London County Council and after 1969 by Essex County Council. It closed in 1995.
