History
The school opened in April 1989,[8] and occupies Fulmer Grange, which had been formerly owned by the British Cement and Concrete Association.[9] The facility was previously used as a head office,[10] and to host conferences.[11] Try Construction Group did the renovations, with one building becoming a dormitory and others also being renovated, spending £882,000 total.[9] The organisation creating the school spent about £2,000,000 in renovations and construction, while £4,000,000 was spent to acquire the land.[10] The plan was to house students who have parents working for Japanese companies.[12]
As of 2013 it had 72 students, all from Japan, including 48 boys and 24 girls. Of them, 44 boys and 17 girls were boarders.[13]

The campus is located north of Slough,[13] and west of London. It is in proximity to Eton College and Windsor Castle. The school includes an indoor swimming pool, an IT room, a theatre, and a turfed ground. Its students live in single-room dormitories.[14] The swimming pool and gymnasium were approved by the South Bucks authorities in 1989.[15]
