Leeds Grammar School was founded in 1552, thanks to a bequest in the will of Sir William Sheafield, a priest in the Clarell Chantry of Leeds. It was originally known as the Free Grammar School and quite likely existed in some form before this official foundation. The 1540s saw the wholesale dissolution of religious gilds and chantries, whose substantial endowments are known to have funded the running of schools as well as the wages of their priests. It is likely that Sheafield's bequest was his way of continuing to protect assets he had already 'saved' from the dissolution of the Clarell Chantry. Over the centuries boys-only Leeds Grammar School has undergone four known changes of address, from probable origins in The Calls, to Lady Lane, then to North Street / Vicar Lane (1624), Woodhouse Moor (1859), and most recently Alwoodley Gates (1997). In 2008 it completed its merger with Leeds Girls' High School (founded in 1876). The two schools shared the same charitable foundation. The merged school is called The Grammar School at Leeds. It is open to girls and boys aged 3 to 18 and continues to reflect much of the heritage of both schools.
