History

The school was founded in 1930 and takes pupils from villages in the area, including Denmead, Hambledon, Purbrook & Petersfield. It was originally a mixed-school, but later on became a boys' school, as girls went to Crookhorn School.

After World War II, the school again included girls, though they were separated from the boys. Now, it is a co-educational school with students of mixed ability and age range.

Cowplain School was awarded Business and Enterprise College status in September 2005.

In 2007, Cowplain School was given healthy school status.

In 2008, Cowplain School was made into a foundation school.

Buildings

Cowplain School originally consisted of one building. As the student population increased, the school was extended. The original building became the Main Building. The Central Building and the South Wing were added, and then the West Wing. The Business Centre was completed during the academic year 2006/07 with the money from a Business and Enterprise College status grant.

In the 1970s, the South Wing burned down, following a fire in the Mechanics Garage or either the Science & Home Economics departments. It was rebuilt and from 2001-2003 was refurbished.
