Brimscombe School dates back to 1882 when Henry George Ricardo (1860-1940) created the original Trust Deed Conveyance, which bequeathed the land below the church to the Minister and Churchwardens to build "premises to be used as and for a school for the education of children and adults or children only of the labouring manufacturing and other poorer classes in the Parish of Brimscombe".  In 1953 following the act of the previous year, endowed schools were given the option to either stay governed by the Minister and Churchwardens or join their local Church of England Diocese who would appoint the governors to run the school, inline with original trust deed.  Brimscombe School decided to join the Diocese.  In 1996 the school was relocated to this new site on Brimscombe Hill and the founding principles of providing education for all children in Brimscombe is still upheld.

As a Church of England school, the Diocese are integral to the maintenance of the buildings and supporting the school and governors to live out its Christian values and teachings, whilst providing Statutory Inspections for Anglian and Methodist Schools, (SIAMS) as legally required.
