Hull Grammar School. History[edit] The 20th century saw the celebration of the 500th anniversary of the endowment by official founder, Bishop Alcock, and the gradual admission of girls into the formerly boys-only School.
The Education Act of 1944 made the LEA fully responsible for the school. This became just one part of the government's tripartite 'secondary education for all'. In 1969 the school became comprehensive, and remained a state comprehensive until 1988.[2] The local government reorganisation of 1974 saw education transferred from Hull City Council to the newly created Humberside County Council which ran the school until 1988 when, following reorganisation, it was renamed William Gee School for Boys.
