Founded in 1525 by Thomas Horsley, the Mayor of Newcastle upon Tyne, it received royal foundation by Queen Elizabeth I and is the city's oldest institution of learning. The school was first located next to St Nicholas' Cathedral in Newcastle Upon Tyne and since then it has moved five times, finally moving to its present buildings in 1906. The school buildings were succinctly described in the 1957 edition of Pevsner's 'The Buildings of England Northumberland' as "1907 by Sir Edwin Cooper. Friendly neo-Early-Georgian. Brick and stone dressings. Not high, various ranges connected by galleries. Central clock turret".
