Leek High School is a mixedupper school (termed 'high school') located in Leek, Staffordshire, England. As of 2021, the number of students at the school is 373, including the sixth form, but capacity is 665.[3]
Leek High School originally opened in 1900 as a co-educational secondary school located within the Nicholson Institute.[5][6] It expanded throughout the twenty years following until 1921 when the girls were transferred to Westwood Hall. In 1939, the boys were transferred to a new building in Westwood Road.[5]
Comprehensiveedit
In 1965, the school was merged with the two secondary modern schools in Springfield Road, Mountside Boys' School and Milner Girls' School, to form a mixed comprehensive secondary school,[5] with the Westwood Road building renamed as the Warrington Hall.
With the introduction of three-tier education in the late 1970s, the school moved all pupils to Springfield Road, extended the buildings with the addition of an eight laboratory science block[7] and became a high school, with the Warrington hall becoming St Edwards Middle School.[5]
