Grosvenor Grammar School

1

Grosvenor Grammar School (formerly Grosvenor High School) is an 11–18 co-educational controlled grammar school and sixth form in Belfast, Northern Ireland.

History

Grosvenor Grammar School was founded in 1945 as Grosvenor High School, by the Belfast Corporation, to cope with the increase in demand for grammar-school education in the area. It was sited on Roden Street, off Grosvenor Road, and remained there until 1958, when the school moved to Cameronian Drive in the east of the city. In 2010, the school moved to its present location, Marina Park. In order to avoid confusion with non-grammar 'high schools', the school changed its name in 1993 to Grosvenor Grammar School.

Principals

On 19 December 2014 Robin McLoughlin made his final speech at Grosvenor before moving on to Banbridge Academy, making way for the school's first headmistress, Dr Frances Vasey (2014−present).

Sport

In rugby, the school has won the Ulster Schools Cup once in 1983 and the Schools Shield once in 1972. At medallion level the school has won the Medallion Plate once in 2019 and the Medallion Bowl once in 2013. In football Grosvenor has also experienced major successes in the Ulster School's Cup, with recent wins in 2016 and 2017.
