History

The buildings on Colworth Road were opened in 1911, being designed by W Jacques. Girlz were transferred there from the Elson House Girls High School on Wallwood Road.

Before the early 1970s, the school was a grammar school, Leyton County High School for Girls, and was subsequently renamed Leyton Senior High School for Girls when it became a comprehensive single sex secondary school. In the 1980s, it became a mixed comprehensive under a borough re-organisation of schools and changed name to Leytonstone School.

Business and Enterprise specialist school status was achieved in 2007. Successful re-designation in 2008 enabled Leytonstone to retain this specialism and acquire a further specialism, 'Leadership Partners' in February 2009. It has also been designated an HPSS (high performing specialist school).
