Benton Park school was built in the grounds of old Benton Park house.
The school was established by Joseph Riley in 1838 and by 1851 he had 33 boys in residence.
His son John was also a teacher there.

In the 1860s it was bought by the Milligan family for use as a private home and was not used as an educational establishment until Littlemoor School utilized the premises as a senior department until 1957 when the building was demolished.

The new school was built in contemporary brutalist style by Sir John Burnet, Tait and Partners in the late 1950s and early 1960s, being formally opened by Lord ST.
Oswald on Saturday 11 March 1961.

In 2015, the Yorkshire Evening Post published an investigation into the risks posed by asbestos in the structure of the main school building.
 Consequently, in February 2019, Leeds City Council approved a £20 million project to rebuild the school, citing the poor condition of some of the school buildings.
