History

The original school was opened in 1955, but the older buildings have been extensively remodeled. Since becoming a comprehensive school in 1976 Montsaye has more than doubled in size and has had a series of major building extensions.

In 2004/05 extensive building work took place which has provided additional teaching areas for Mathematics and Science, an I.C.T suite, refurbished administrative accommodation and a visitor reception area. In addition, the sixth form area was remodeled in order to provide a purpose built educational support center, new laboratories and an extension to the library to provide study facilities and a resource base. More recently a major project funded by the Big Lottery has provided the college and community with a sports facility consisting of four badminton courts a sports hall and a refurbished swimming pool.

The college was granted Language College status in September 2000 and in addition, in September 2004, was also granted Humanities College status as a second specialism.
