Roxeth Manor Secondary School was opened on Eastcote Lane by Middlesex County Council in 1932.[1] It became a secondary modern school following the Education Act 1944.

The secondary school was renamed Rooks Heath High School in September 1974 when the London Borough of Harrow adopted the comprehensive system of education.

The school gained specialist status as a Business and Enterprise College, using the name Rooks Heath College for Business and Enterprise.

The school converted to academy status and was renamed Rooks Heath School on 1 August 2011.[2] [3]
