The school was founded on its present site in 1888 by A. H. Evans, a master at Winchester College.

Controversy

In April 2021, Will Young opened up about his experience at prep school, claiming to have suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). "I've been thinking a lot about prep school, and wondering if any of those institutions will be brought to justice for the things that I saw happen... kids thrown against radiators. Other things I can’t talk about." Young also remembered drunk teachers "rolling around dormitories", one "you wouldn't go for a ride with", and teachers "looking at [students'] penises in the shower". He described feeling a sense of injustice, saying "I think I escaped – not that it didn't damage me."[5][6]

In October 2022, an appeal was launched for witnesses to alleged abuse by teachers at Horris Hill School in the years spanning the 1960s to the 1990s.

This action was taken in support of a group of former pupils who have instructed a solicitors' firm to represent them in their legal claim(s).

With regard to the allegations, "some of the [ex-pupils] say they were abused by one teacher while some say they were abused by a number of teachers. The teachers were allegedly able to abuse without any repercussions for decades and former pupils say they used their positions of trust to manipulate the boys and to silence them."[7]
