Predecessor schools

Matthew Humberstone School

Matthew Humberstone School was a Church of England, secondary school with specialist school status as a Business and Enterprise College. Originally founded in 1882 as the "Matthew Humberstone Foundation School", also known as "Clee Foundation School", it was established in Cleethorpes at the request of Matthew Humberstone, a customs officer from Humberston, who financed the opening of the school with a gift of £500 in his will. It was originally a grammar school for boys and initially had 15 students. In 1973, the school merged with Beacon Hill Secondary Modern School, to form a new comprehensive school, which was named in memorial to Matthew Humberstone.

In 2006, the school was placed in special measures by OFSTED, the Government appointed inspectorate for schools in England. Despite being taken out of special measures in 2008, it continued to perform badly in GCSE and SATs. As a result of ongoing negotiations with St Mary's Catholic High School, it was ultimately decided that the school would close at the end of the academic year in 2010 and that both schools would amalgamate to form St Andrew's College.
