The school was built to serve the needs of the expanding population of Chippenham, in particular the large Pewsham and Cepen Park estates. In 1998, while the site was being cleared, two unexploded bombs were found on the site and the Army carried out a controlled explosion. Other delays occurred due to the nature of the Private Finance Initiative and building did not start until 2000.
