'''Hull Collegiate School''', commonly known in the area as the 'Collegiate' or 'Tranby Croft', is a [[Mixed-sex education|co-educational]] [[Independent school (UK)|independent school]] in [[Anlaby]], near [[Kingston upon Hull|Hull]], in the [[East Riding of Yorkshire]], England. It was founded in 2005 as a result of a merger of two of the area's independent schools<ref name="hist">[http://www.hullcollegiateschool.co.uk/about-us/view/13/History History]</ref> and is a member of the [[United Church Schools Trust]] |

==History== |
|||
Following the renaming of the historic [[Hull Grammar School]] as the William Gee School for Boys in 1988, the name was acquired and used for a new independent school which opened in 1989. In 1991, Nord Anglia Education PLC, an education and training company, acquired the new school from the administrator for £900,000. By 2003 the school (net asset value of £1,800,000) hosted 450 pupils - boys and girls - from two to 18 years of age, and registered a turnover of £2,400,000, of which £280,000 went to Nord Anglia. The School was purchased from Nord Anglia for £4,180,000 by the United Church Schools Company (affiliated to the Church of England), and merged in September 2005 with Hull High School (owned by the Company since 1890), a co-educational Independent School (with a girls-only senior school, ages 11–18) of similar size and strength. |
|||
This merged Hull Collegiate School is situated on the former Hull High School site {{convert|4|mi|km|1}} to the west of [[Kingston upon Hull|Hull]] and {{convert|1|mi|km|1}} north east of the [[Humber Bridge]], the school is based at [[Tranby Croft]], a Victorian mansion with over {{convert|12|acre|m2}} of landscaped grounds, a small wood and an [[AstroTurf]] pitch. |
|||
The mansion was previously home to shipbuilder [[Arthur Wilson (shipping magnate)|Arthur Wilson]] during the late [[Victorian Era]]. He famously hosted the Prince of Wales, later King [[Edward VIII]], at a party. The events at the party would later lead to the [[royal baccarat scandal]]. |
|||
The Preparatory School, opened in 2004, is housed in a purpose-built facility on the same site; a senior school building was opened in 2005, completing a multimillion-pound investment by parent company [[United Church Schools Trust]].<ref name="hist" /> |
