King Henry VIII School

Produced to celebrate the 450th Anniversary of King Henry VIII school in Coventry.

The school was founded on the 23rd of July 1545 by John Hales, Clerk to the Hanaper (the department of the Chancery handling payments for the sealing and enrolment of charters) under Letters Patent of King Henry VIII. In 1885 the school moved to its present site - by happy coincidence close to Coventry railway station. The school has a very large catchment area extending to Birmingham, Northampton, Nuneaton, Leamington Spa and beyond.

Badly damaged during the bombing of Coventry, the building was restored in a spirit of continuity while taking the opportunity to extend and improve its facilities. In the mid l990s a series of major additions were made, including a new Sixth Form Centre and Junior School.
