The office of Registrar was created in 1943 when an Assistant Registrar was appointed to relieve the School's Secretary and Treasurer of some of his duties.

In 1995 the post of Academic Registrar was split into two posts, Head of Academic Services and Registrar. In 1998 the Registry was reorganised, the title reverting to that of Academic Registrar. An Assistant Registrar was appointed in 1999.
