Lady Lumley's School is a coeducational secondary school and sixth form located in Pickering, North Yorkshire, England.[1] It was founded in Thornton-le-Dale in 1670.[2]

It was endowed by deed of Frances, Viscountess Lumley, an ancestor of the Earl of Scarborough, in 1657, and the buildings completed in about 1680.[3][4]

It has school links worldwide, particularly within Tanzania, Morocco, China and France.[5][failed verification]

The school has been awarded Sportsmark 2008, an iNET qualification, Specialist Schools and Academies Trust, a British Schools Orienteering award and was classified as a Healthy School.[citation needed]

In 2019, the Ofsted Inspection Report rated Lady Lumley's school as inadequate.[6]

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]
