Admin History: The school was opened by East Riding County Council on 23 Sep 1908, with Miss Rossiter as its headmistress. The school was built in the grounds of Norwood House, with that building becoming a boarding house for teachers and pupils. Building work began in Oct 1907 and the costs were £13,000. The school, which had 199 pupils in 1908, included a mixed kindergarten and a junior department. Pupils were 'fee payers' and 'scholarship girls'. Norwood House was converted to classrooms for the Junior Department in 1934. After the 1944 Education Act the Junior Department was phased out and admission was wholly selective. The school was repeatedly enlarged with temporary buildings from the 1940s onwards. The old lake was filled in 1957. The school became comprehensive in 1973. In 1979 the sixth forms of the High School and Beverley Grammar School were amalgamated. From the 1970s new buildings were added and all the temporary buildings were removed by 1986. The school was granted technology college status in 1998.Source: 'Victoria County History East Riding, Volume VI: The Borough and Liberties of Beverley' (Oxford University Press, 1989) and records in this collection.
