The school was founded in 1899 by Archbishop Nuttall as part of the Deaconess Home School, which later became St Hugh's High School for girls. The Preparatory department moved to its present location in September 1959. The school buildings were designed and constructed by Bill Hodges, architect, sometime Chief Town Planner and the then school PTA President.

Inclusion of deaf students

An integrated unit for deaf students was established during the mid 1960s, the first of its kind in Jamaica.
