high school

Early 1870's when the school was the Boys Grammar School

The school was built originally for a Boys Grammar School in Trafalgar Road; the corner stone of which was laid by the Mayor on 28th August,1869. It was officially opened by Edward VII, then Prince of Wales, on 6th June 1872. He stayed at Shadingfield Lodge.

On 21st September 1910, the Boys Grammar School became the Girls High School and continued until 1957 when the new High School for girls opened in Gorleston.

The Building continued as Styles Secondary Modern School until 1982 when it closed down, and in 1983 it was demolished completely to build flats

Please help,we are trying to get as much information together as possible. We would love to hear from any 'Old Girls'. Where you are, what you have been up to, have you any fond memories, or bad ones come to that! We would appreciate photographs, and will put them on the pages if you can e mail them to us. We are trying to get archives together, and would be grateful for any help. A newsletter is published twice a year. If you would like a copy please send your address. Membership is the grand sum of £4 at the moment. We will ask the Post Office how much it would cost to send Newsletters to far flung places.


We are lucky to have all the School magazines in our archives, all that is except one.... dated 1935. If anyone has this magazine and would be happy to donate it to us we would be forever in your debt.

The Memories of 1950 - 1957 make very interesting reading for "Old Girls"

Have you got a good memory? Could you remember similar details of your years at school?

Do you have a picture of your school friends?

If so I would love to hear from you so that I can make a separate page for your years.

Please sign the Guest Book so that we can mention your visit in the News Letter Photographs of Lunches from 2004 - 2009

We are very lucky to have been able to use the photographs taken of "Victoria Regina" a dramatic Biography by Laurence Housman, which was performed at the Britannia Pier Pavilion on December 3rd and 4th, 1952.

The photographs were kindly lent for scanning by Beryl Sprunt who played the part of Victoria. She also let us use the original Programme.
