The school took over the property in 1922 and has been in continuous occupation since that date. Generations of pupils have experienced a sense of privilege at being educated in such majestic surroundings.

In 1989 the all-girls school merged with Glengorse and Hydneye, a local Prep. School and, becoming coeducational, accepted pupils from kindergarten to university age. In 1995 following a merger with Charters Ancaster the school transferred its Prep School to a new site in Bexhill, adding a purpose-built Junior School, playing fields, six tennis courts and a magnificent indoor swimming pool to its facilities.
