The school was founded in 1973 as Rossett High School and is Harrogate's most recently built secondary school with additions to its original building since its construction.

A report in 2007 by the Office for Standards in Education (Ofsted) rated the school as Grade 3 (satisfactory) for overall effectiveness.[1]

In June 2010 a report by the Office for Standards in Education (Ofsted) rated the school as Grade 1 (outstanding) for overall effectiveness [2]

In December 2010 the actor and gay rights champion Sir Ian McKellen visited Rossett School as part of his national campaign to tackle homophobic discrimination and bullying in Britain's schools.[3]

In 2012 the school began a scheme that allows pupils to bring iPads to school, either through purchase, renting, or borrowing from the school.[4]

In June 2019 a report by the Office for Standards in Education (Ofsted) rated the school as Grade 3 (requires improvement) for overall effectiveness [5]
