The school is named after Lilian Baylis (1874–1937), a theatrical producer and manager who lived nearby in Stockwell. The school was formed from an amalgamation of Beaufoy School with Vauxhall Manor School for Girls in 1983.[1]
It was originally based in purpose-built 1960s school buildings at Lollard Street, Kennington before moving to the current premises on Kennington Lane in 2005.[2] The 6th form LBTS6 opened its doors in September 2012.
