AlanE Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Hi, I am researching my grandfather - George Edward Huntley - I mentioned him in another post. I know he went to university so I assume he must have gone to a good school in Sheffield at the time. I have tried searching issues of the school magazine for the Sheffield Royal Grammar School as it was back then and his name does not appear. What other schools in Sheffield were there that he may have gone to? His family were reasonably well off so I think could have afforded school fees. I'm hoping to track down which school he attended. Many thanks for any advice!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old rider Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 King Edwards was always regarded as the highest grammar school in Sheffield where the boys with the best 11plus exam results were sent. High Storrs was regarded as the second best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athy Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 That's how I remember it, yes - though, as an Old Edwardian, I would say that, wouldn't I? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Walker Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 At that time, High Storrs would have been the Central Technical School located on Leopold Street in the city centre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
