The institution was originally established as Lewisham Bridge Primary School, serving the local community as a primary-only setting. In response to growing demand for secondary school places in the borough, the school underwent significant redevelopment and expansion. In September 2011, it was rebranded as Prendergast Vale School following its transition to an all-through school, welcoming its first cohort of secondary-aged pupils that year.

Prendergast Vale School is part of a federation governed by the Worshipful Company of Leathersellers, a historic livery company with a long-standing involvement in education. This federation also includes Prendergast School and Prendergast Ladywell School.

As of 1 January 2024 Prendergast School, Prendergast Vale and Prendergast Ladywell have officially become academies despite opposition from staff and parents.
