Note : The construction of the school started early in 1881. With the introduction of the wards class in 1884, the school began to grow and was established formally in 1889.

Colvin recognized the importance of education and sought to improve educational opportunities in the region. He provided support and resources for the establishment of the school, which was initially intended to cater to the educational needs of the Taluqdars, who were landowners and revenue collectors in Oudh. The school was named after him to honor his contribution.
