By 1889 William Henry Bentley was running a school at Cleveland House in Manor Road. By 1899 he had moved to Elm Grove and taken the name Cleveland House with him. By 1903 he had moved again to Kelsey Road and again transferred the name Cleveland House. In the 1907 the school was being run by Principals, Henry Sidney Disbrowe and G.H. Nott at Cleveland House, which was then called the Modern School. In 1913 they were advertising a good playground and a large playing field and assuring parents that special attention was given to small boys. By 1923 Henry Disbrowe was the sole Principal.
In 1932 the school was giving 'thorough training for business and professional life' and publicising its 'new airy dormitories'. The school also advertised that it took boys from abroad. In 1941 there were boarding and day pupils who were prepared for public school, professional and school certificate examinations and for commercial life. By 1955 there were 152 day boys, aged from 7 to 18 years. In 1959 it was advertised as the Cleveland School, an independent day school for boys with a kindergarten department for those aged from 4 to 8 years. This was the last advertisement for the school under that name.
