History
The school was previously known as Harry Cheshire High School. Due to a lack of good exam results and absence levels of up to 15% the school was placed under special measures by the Office for Standards in Education. In September 2002 it then became Baxter College. Its results have greatly improved, and it has attained specialist status as a Business and Enterprise College.
The school has been paired with Haybridge High School in a Leading Edge Partnership to assist in the improvement of the school.
