Founded in 1914, the School is a national memorial to the third Archbishop of Westminster
, Herbert, Cardinal Vaughan. In response to his death an appeal was set up to raise funds to found a school in memory to the Cardinal and some £20,000 was subscribed. The founders included such distinguished persons as Viscount Fitzalan, the Duke of Norfolk and the Marquis of Ripon. At first a private school, it became a state-funded grammar school in 1944. The Vaughan began to take pupils of all abilities in 1977 and became an all ability school; girls were first admitted to the Sixth Form in 1977. The School is now voluntary-aided and draws pupils chiefly, but not exclusively from Inner London.
The Vaughan School opened its doors in the Victorian Building now known as the Addison Building, as a private school, to twenty- nine boys on 21 September 1914, appointing Canon Driscoll as the first Headmaster.
In the next decade the school expanded and it was decided to seek recognition by the Board of Education for the grant as an independent day school. A piece of land, some 6 acres (24,281.2 m²) in North Wembley, was also purchased for playing fields, which were later exchanged for the present site at Twickenham, adjacent to the international Rugby Football Union ground
Following a brief interregnum after Canon Driscoll’s death, Monsignor Canon J.G. Vance became Headmaster in 1928. His determination and devotion helped the School battle through the trials of the Second World War, when it was evacuated to Beaumont College, Windsor.
Thirty-nine old boys are named in the School’s Roll of Honour having given their lives in the Second World War, including the first VC
of the War in the Royal Air Force
, Flying Officer Donald Edward Garland

After the war the decision was made to abolish fees and to give the School more security by becoming a voluntary-aided school.

They were addressed by the late Pope John Paul II with these words: "I am pleased to greet the Schola Cantorum of the Cardinal Vaughan Memorial School in London. May your music, your studies and your lives always be directed to the praise of God and the growth of his Kingdom." In 2005 the choir returned to Rome giving a concert at Sant'Ignazio and singing Mass in St Peter's. The Schola also visited Assisi and sang Mass in the Patriarchal Basilica of San Francesco.
