The Vos Government School was established on 25th January 1956.  It was constructed by Trinidad Leaseholds Limited (the precursor company to Texaco, Trintoc and Petrotrin) on lands owned by them and donated to the community.  This was in response to chronic overcrowding at Gasparillo Government School.

Vos was originally called The New Government School but at the official opening the name was changed to Vos Government in honour of Simon J. Vos the then General Manager of Trinidad Leaseholds Limited.

In its fifty years history Vos has been the outstanding school in Gasparillo and one of the more prominent schools in the Victoria Education District.  It has consistently performed well in academics, in athletics, in football, in cricket, in Junior Red Cross and in other extra curricular and co-curricular activities.  Prior to 1985 the school Garden was consistently judged one of the best in any school in the community.  The semi official anthem of the school has been.

Vos is the boss, that never loss
And if we loss we still the boss
