The school, founded by Robert Mulvey in 1990, was created to serve high ability learners and underachievers with high potential.[1]
Latterly based at Crawfordton House, Moniaive, a listed building, it previously operated from near Peebles.
In 2002, the school was ranked second of 418 schools in Scotland for Higher Grade results.[2]
Following controversial stories in the tabloid press, in 2004, an HMI report criticised the school, "particularly in the care and welfare areas of child protection, vetting of staff and restraint".[3] A follow-up inspection criticised a "lack of stable and effective strategic leadership" on 13 September 2005.[4]
In September 2006 the school went out of business due to financial difficulties. Its roll had dropped from 100 pupils to 34 at the time of its closure.[5]
The school buildings were then placed on the market with an asking price of £1.3 million.[6]
