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

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.[2][3]

It has school links worldwide, particularly within Tanzania, Morocco, China and France.[4]

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 2010 Ofsted Inspection Report rated Lady Lumley's School as overall grade 2 (good).[5]

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.[6] They were amalgamated in 1904/05, on the Pickering site.[6][7][8] In 1864, the school at Thornton had 26 pupils, all boys.[7]

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.[9]

In the 1940s, pupils carried out an archaeological excavation of the nearby mediaeval hospital of St Nicholas.[10]

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.[11]
