School history

The current co-educational school was originally two single-sex grammar schools, one in Thornton-le-Dale and one on Middleton Road in Pickering, both called Lady Lumley's Grammar School. [7] They were amalgamated in 1904/05, on the Pickering site. [7] [8] [9] In 1864, the school at Thornton had 26 pupils, all boys. [8]

During the Second World War, pupils from Middlesbrough High School for Girls were evacuated to Pickering, and shared the school with the Lady Lumley's pupils. [10]

In the 1940s, pupils carried out an archaeological excavation of the nearby mediaeval hospital of St Nicholas. [11]

In the first half of the twentieth century, the then headmaster of the school, F Austin Hyde, was an expert on the dialect of the area. [12]

Previously a community school administered by North Yorkshire County Council, in May 2021 Lady Lumley's School converted to academy status. It is now sponsored by the Coast and Vale Learning Trust. [13]
