Dudley Boys Grammar School

Dudley Boys Grammar School

Dudley Grammar School was a selective higher education school for boys aged from 11 to 18 years. Originally founded in 1562, it was located in Dudley, England, and opened in 1897 on its final site in St James's Road. 13 years later Dudley Girls High School opened in nearby buildings in Priory Road. The pupils of the two single-sex schools regularly held drama productions together, and a number of teachers taught at both establishments and the pupils of the two schools mixed on occasions for sixth form Physics lessons.

Dudley Grammar School ceased to exist in 1975 after 413 years, when it merged with the Girls High School to form The Dudley School. The merger also included the smaller, less well known Park Secondary School which was located near the town's Grange Park.

After more than 100 years, the buildings of Dudley Grammar School are still in existence; they now house Castle High School, which was formed in 1989 on the merger of The Dudley School and The Blue Coat School. The buildings were expanded in the early 1990s as the old High School building was gradually emptied and eventually demolished.
