Sekolah Tun Fatimah was founded in Durian Daun, Malacca in 1956 going by the name Malay Girls Secondary School.[citation needed] The goal was to educate malay girls from rural areas. Those who aspire to become teachers were enrolled directly into the Malacca Malay Women Teachers Training College (MWTC) after their LCE/SRP examination.

The school was officially launched by YB Encik Khir bin Johari, the Minister of Education of Malaya in 1958 and given the name "Tun Fatimah School, named after a famous Malay Srikandi Woman of the Malacca sultanate.[7] Sekolah Tun Fatimah has moved to its current premises in August 1962.
