The Grammar School at Leeds (GSAL) is an independent fee-paying school in Leeds, England, created on 4 August 2005 from the merger of Leeds Grammar School (founded c. 1552) and Leeds Girls' High School (co-founded in 1876 by Frances Lupton). The schools physically merged in September 2008, at which point the school became open to both sexes. The school is now situated on two sites: the Senior School (ages 11–18) and Junior School (7–11) at the Alwoodley Site, while the Leeds Girls' High School site in Headingley is used by the Infant School and a new Nursery School. The merged school operates as a "diamond school" meaning that classes for girls and boys between the ages of 11 and 16 remain segregated, but all extracurricular activities are mixed. Classes for all below the age of 11 and in the Sixth Form are co-educational. During the merger consultation process, the student, parent and teaching bodies of both schools agreed on major goals for The Grammar School at Leeds. == House structure == A key element of the new school is intended to be the foundations of eight school houses, each with two house captains and four deputy house captains. These houses, into which the pupils of The Grammar School will be divided, are: * Eddison House — named after Anne Eddison, on the Yorkshire Ladies Council of Education who helped set up Leeds Girls' High School. * Ermystead House — named after William Ermystead, a priest who donated properties to Leeds Grammar School in 1552. * Ford House — named after John Ford, a founding member of the LGHS Council. * Harrison House — named after John Harrison, benefactor, who built Leeds Grammar School's third site on North Street in 1642. * Lawson House — named after Godfrey Lawson, Mayor of Leeds, who endowed the Lawson Library, the oldest library in the city. * Lupton House — named after Frances Lupton, who helped found LGHS, and also Elinor Lupton, who funded the eponymous centre at the Headingley site. * Powell House — named after Helena Langthorne Powell, the second Headmistress of LGHS, who established its move to Headingley, where it remained until 2008. * Sheafield House — named after William Sheafield, who is traditionally thought of as the founder of Leeds Grammar School in 1552. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Grammar School at Leeds」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
