King Edward VII School, Sheffield
King Edward VII School is a coeducational secondary school and sixth form located in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England. History King Edward VII School, named after the reigning monarch, was formed in 1905 when Wesley College was merged with Sheffield Royal Grammar School on the site of the former on Glossop Road. The former buildings of Wesley College, now King Edward VII Upper School, designed and built by the Sheffield architect, William Flockton in 1838, were Grade II* listed in 1973. The school's history is far older than its regal name suggests.

The School supported a Junior School until the advent of the 11-plus entry that was a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
