Leeds Grammar School

• Its original location is thought to have been The Calls, by the River Aire, near the centre of the city.
• In 1624, John Harrison, a great Leeds benefactor, moved the school "to a pleasant Field of his own which he surrouded with a substantial Wall and in the midst of the Quadrangle built the present Fabrick of the school"
• The school was moved to a site on Woodhouse Moor in 1859. This site was subsequently sold to the University of Leeds.
• Most recently, in 1997, LGS moved to a purpose-built campus at Alwoodley Gates.
• The school will merge with Leeds Girls' High School in 2007.
