History

Founded by G.L. Hanna in 1884 in nearby Argyle Square, from which it got its name, it remained in the Hanna family until 1969 until it was sold to the current proprietor's father, Jeffrey Johnson. The current head purchased the school from his father on the latter's retirement in 2003. [1] The school, founded as a boys' school, has been non-selective and co-educational since 1999.
