History

The school was established as a small private school in 1907, and was founded by Malai Perumal Pillay, a local merchant.[ citation needed ] In those days it was difficult to persuade parents in Batu Gajah to educate their children. Pillay achieved this by going from door to door in the township. Eventually, he gathered 30 children in the school together with three teachers from Taiping. The first class was held in his own home. K. Mudalir was the first Headmaster of the school. All the costs, including teachers' salaries, were met by Pillay.

The school move to a nearby site in 1908 when the Batu Gajah Prison donated the building material for the school from the old prison building. The people of Batu Gajah cooperated in community spirit gotong royongs and built the school. During that year, M.C. Champion was appointed to replace K. Mudalir as Headmaster.

Over the next two years, the number of students increased to 80. This forced Pillay to hand the school over, on 9 August 1910, to the government of British Malaya and it was renamed the Batu Gajah Government English School. [1]

The school was later renamed Sultan Yussuf School after the Second World War

Special education classes were inaugurated in May 2010. [2]
