The school opened in 1913 as Weymouth Secondary School. In 1927 it became known as Weymouth Grammar School. In 1939 the school began sharing the site with South Dorset Technical College. In the 1960s, the school moved to new premises in Chickerell Road, leaving the technical college with sole use of the site. The grammar school was co-educational with around 1,050 boys and girls administered by the South Dorset Divisional Executive of Dorset Education Committee. The new Chickerell Road site was shared with Westham County Secondary School.

The school became Budmouth College which became an academy in September 2019 and renamed Budmouth Academy.
