The school was the first in the country to host its own aircraft landing strip as reported in Flight Magazine, page 635, July 8th 1932.
At the outbreak of World War II the school was moved to the Lake District where Pull Wood House was rented to accommodate the school. After the war the headmaster, Hubert Butler, purchased the house and grounds and continues to run the school until 1969.
