Administrative HistoryUnder the provisions of the Technical Instruction Acts, 1889 and 1890, a technical day school opened at the Grosvenor Museum in 1892. It was the forerunner of the City Grammar School for Boys. Following the Education Act, 1902, it was decided to adapt the day technical school to meet the requirements of the Act, and its name was changed to City and County School for Boys in June 1907. It was transferred to Chester Corporation in August 1908, but remained at the Grosvenor Museum, with its own Board of Governors (some of them being appointed by Chester Corporation), until 1912. The school then moved to new buildings in Queen's Park. In 1938 its name was changed to Chester City Grammar School for Boys, and in 1941 new premises were opened in Queen's Park. In 1972, it was amalgamated with Chester City High School for Girls and became Queen's Park High School.
