History

There are some nasty gaps in the history which I can't find sources for:

Was the school always mixed (as it was at opening) or was it a boys' school for a time. I have found a couple of mentions of a "Wanstead county high school for boys" in Google. Is this the same school? If so when did it become a boys' school and when did it switch back being mixed?
When did it change name?
When did it become Comprehensive?
When did it achieve specialist status?

These items need doing. Please jump in:
