Sheffield Collegiate School began in 1836 in new buildings on the corner of Ecclesall Road and Collegiate Crescent (now Grade II listed and part of Sheffield Hallam University[1]). The school enjoyed academic success but lacked sound finances. In 1884, the Governors ofSheffield Grammar School paid £7,000 to buy the school, which ceased to exist. The grammar school moved onto the site and the next year was renamed as Sheffield Royal Grammar School.[2]
In 1905 Sheffield City Council acquired bothWesley College and SRGS and they were merged on the site of the former to formKing Edward VII School (KES), named after the reigning monarch.
