History

The campus was founded by Charles Henderson in 1940. The site was built on an abandoned village, it is situated next to an artillery range. The organisation, then known as the "Henderson Boys", only had an old school building to train the pupils and a cottage next door, where Henderson and his family lived. The agents trained in a wood nearby. Over the following years the campus grew, the wood where the students trained was cut down to make way for a runway, an admin building was built in the 1960s along with a gymnasium. In the seventies the main building was built for agents to live, this made a change from the huts they stayed in before. The brick wall surrounding the complex was built, along with a gate and the fountain for a visit by Queen Elizabeth II. During the Cold War a nuclear bunker was built beneath an athletics track.^{[citation needed]}
