1904 Mrs Moore and E Cotgreave-Brown become joint proprietors of the School until 1913, when Mr Brown marries and Mrs Moore retires.

1917 Amesbury House moves to Hindhead, Surrey. The new site offers a rural location, far from the war time guns, and is deemed better for the health of everyone. Nearly all the pupils move to the new School, the main School building having been designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens in 1903.

1920 Mr Cotgreave-Brown resigns as Headmaster.

1923 C L MacDonald (Clem) appointed Headmaster after a distinguished record during WW1. By 1923 there were 51 boarders.

1938 Major Tom Reynolds takes over as Headmaster due to 'Clem' MacDonald's ill health (deceased 1939)

1938 The School Chapel was built during the summer holidays and dedicated on October 2nd 1938.  The wooden panelling of the chancel was a gift to the school from Lieutenant General B L Montgomery and his son.  King George VI gave Montgomery royal consent to allow the Amesbury Chapel Choir to wear scarlet cassocks which they still wear to this day. General Montgomery's son attended Amesbury and during the War the school was B L Montgomery's home, and referred to in military circles as 'Lion's Rear'.  He was visited by his staff and generals and dined here the night before leaving for Normandy on 5th June 1944.

1948 A G Peel is appointed as Headmaster.

1970 As the owner of the school Mr Reynolds reaches retirement age and can find no successor to A G Peel, he decides to close the school.  However, H H Rose OBE (The Chairman of the Committee) launches a successful appeal involving parents. They raise funds in order to purchase the estate and set up an Educational Trust, thereby enabling Amesbury to continue under a salaried Head Master with a board of governors.  The only academic scholarship is named after H H Rose OBE, The Rose Scholarship.

1971-1989 Dominick Spencer is appointed as the school's first salaried Head Master. There are 59 boys in the school.  During his leadership the number of pupils rises to around 140 and the school improves its facilities. The money was raised by selling some properties, through social events and the continued generosity of parents.  An old gymnasium is converted into an arts centre. The facilities are improved with a new Pre-Prep Department opened for pupils under seven (a first of its kind in the area) and, in 1988, a new academic building. In 1995, the building is named 'Spencers' after Dominick and his wife Sue.

1988-1994 Paul Cheater is appointed as headmaster. During his leadership the school announces it intends to become co-educational.

1994 Nigel Taylor is appointed as 9th Headmaster of the Amesbury. By 1994 the number of pupils had fallen to 76. However, as the school enters the new millennium it has grown to 325+ pupils and is now limited in size by Waverley Borough Council. There has been substantial investment in facilities during this period.
