In 1956 the new Girls' High School opened on 28 September and was sited in two buildings on the west side of the Hardenhuish site of Chippenham Grammar School. The Headmistress was Miss E. Denne and she had in her charge 486 pupils.
In 1966 the Grammar School and the Girls' High School integrated with the Chippenham Secondary Modern Schools in a semi-comprehensive system with all 11 to 13 year old boys and girls being educated on the Hardenhuish site.
Finally, in 1975 a fully comprehensive school came into existence, serving the northern and western areas of Chippenham and adjacent villages, and taking the name Hardenhuish School.
