Background
History
The school opened on 8 January 1957 as a secondary modern with an enrolment of 245. It was named after Henry George Willink (1851–1938), the former chairman of the Berkshire County Education Committee who lived in Burghfield. The school underwent significant expansion in the 1970s, and in the 1980s a leisure centre was built as part of the site. The leisure centre was expanded in 1997 to include a 25 m swimming pool. In 2005 it had risen to 927, and had reached 1,030 by the time of the school's 2012 Ofsted inspection.
