Queen Anne Grammar School

Queen Anne Grammar School for Girls was a single-sex female state grammar school in the city of York, England. It began in 1906 as the Municipal Secondary School for Girls and was based in Brook Street. At the end of 1909 the pupils were transferred to a new 5½ acre site in Clifton.[1] The school’s name was changed in 1920 and Queen Anne was chosen as it was situated in Queen Anne’s Road. The school motto was Quod Potui Perfeci.[2]

The school was converted into a co-educational comprehensive school in 1985. It closed in 2000.[3]
