Part of the Defence College of Communications and Information Systems (DCCIS) with its HQ at Blandford, No 1 RS is responsible for Phase 2 and 3 training of RAF TG4 (Information and Communication Technology) personnel.

The history of Number 1 Radio School pre-dates the formation of the Royal Air Force and can be traced back to the Royal Flying Corps School for Wireless Operators which formed in 1915. The school was disbanded on 1 October 1989 to form part of Number 1 Radio School of Technical Training at RAF Cosford before being reformed on 2 April 2003 and incorporating the Aerial Erector School at RAF Digby, under the command of DCCIS whose HQ is at Blandford Camp.

The school is responsible for the delivery of training to all personell of the newely formed Trade Group 4, which is geared more to the delivery of network enabled services rather than the maintenance and operation of currentl legacy systems.
