Its Executive Headteacher is Mrs Anita Johnson, the CEO of the Loxford School Trust and the Headteacher of Loxford School, and Tabor's Headteacher is Mrs Sarah Speller, who took over from Elizabeth Robinson in 2018.
The school started life in the early part of the twentieth century on Panfield Lane. While co-educational girls and boys were separated, with the school effectively split into two parts. Later with the introduction of the 1944 Education Act the school opened as a newly established secondary modern school and was a coeducational school. It was renamed the Margaret Tabor Secondary Modern School. The Tabor part of the name derived from the then local and prominent Tabor family who were major woollen merchants in the 16th century. The family shield was used as the badge of the school, and can still be seen clearly today decorating Bocking bridge near the Old Covent, and on many old buildings in Braintree and Bocking. In September 1972 with the introduction of comprehensive education, the school was merged with the local grammar school to form The Tabor High School.
The new school building was first built around 1992, sharing facilities with Braintree Leisure Centre. Since its opening, it has been added to in stages. The original site contains 30 classrooms and was intended to be the new building for the Senior section of the Tabor Science College located a short walk away.
The second stage was completed when the Senior and Middle schools merged and contain a similar number of classrooms, and the Third stage (a new building built for the languages faculty was completed in the summer of 2006, adding an extra 5 classrooms and a new faculty office and locker space.
The school replaced the Tabor High School as the secondary school for west Braintree and surrounding villages and the old Senior section site was knocked down in 2004.
Steven Clark, its former headteacher, was one of the youngest Headteachers in the United Kingdom.
