History

The school opened in April 1989, and occupies Fulmer Grange, which had been formerly owned by the British Cement and Concrete Association. The facility was previously used as a head office, and to host conferences. Try Construction Group did the renovations, with one building becoming a dormitory and others also being renovated, spending £882,000 total. The organisation creating the school spent about £2,000,000 in renovations and construction, while £4,000,000 was spent to acquire the land. The plan was to house students who have parents working for Japanese companies.

As of 2013 it had 72 students, all from Japan, including 48 boys and 24 girls. Of them, 44 boys and 17 girls were boarders.

The school includes an indoor swimming pool, an IT room, a theatre, and a turfed ground. Its students live in single-room dormitories. The swimming pool and gymnasium were approved by the South Bucks authorities in 1989.
