History
The school was established in 1926 by Jessie Elliot-Pyle in Brownlow Road with three pupils, and was named after
Ernest Albert Waterlow.[3] Additions had been made to the mansion in about 1908.[4] In 1961, it changed from private ownership to being owned by a charitable trust.[5] In 1975, it joined the Association of Governing Bodies of Girls' Public Schools, which is now called the Girls' Schools Association

In March 2014 the school became part of United Learning and announced that it would become a co-educational school for ages 11 to 18 from September 2014.[6] In early 2018, the school launched a partnership with Surrey Cricket to create a Surrey Cricket Development and Performance Centre at Dunottar.[7] Other recent developments include a £2.2 million Sixth Form Centre, opened in April 2019, and the £4.5 million construction of The Castle Theatre and Performing Arts Centre, completed in January 2021.[8]
