Sunderland High School

Sunderland High School is a coeducational independent day school in Sunderland, Tyne and Wear, England. Founded in 1883 as the oldest girls' senior school in Sunderland, it merged with a local boys' school to become the current coeducational school. A junior school was later added and is located on a separate site nearby. It is owned by the United Church Schools Trust.
History
The original Sunderland High School was founded in 1883 by the Archdeacon of Sunderland the Venerable R Long. Prior to going coeducational, it was the oldest girls' school in the city. After gaining support from local townsfolk as well as the mayor, the school opened in April 1884 with just 16 full-time pupils at 10-11 Park Terrace, now Toward Road. After World War II, the school continued to grow and expand. In 1987, the school celebrated its 100 year heritage by opening the Centenary Building which now houses the school's ICT suites.
