The school was designed by James Stewart Johnston in the mid-1930s, but building work was delayed until after World War II and construction started in 1949. The school was originally to be called Pilton Intermediate School. From its opening in 1948 until 1965 it was a junior secondary school, meaning pupils left at the end of their third academic year. If they wished to sit O-grade examinations they had to move on to another school. The 1965/66 academic year saw the school attain senior secondary status, thereby allowing pupils to remain into fourth year to sit O-grade exams. The school subsequently expanded the academic syllabus to offer Higher examinations. The school colours were red and gold and the badge was a golden dolphin on a red background.
