Allerton Grange School is a state school in Leeds, West Yorkshire, England. The school has over 1,400 pupils.[2]
History
The current school was formed in 1992 with the merger of Allerton Grange Middle School and Allerton Grange High School both of which pre-existed on the same site. The new Allerton Grange School continued to use the buildings of the previous schools until the school was rebuilt in 2009.
The original buildings were built in the 1950s (Middle School) and 1960s (High School) and equipped with a swimming pool and full size athletic track. The demolition of the old school buildings is now complete.
