In 1863, Catherine Sharpe established The "School for
the Accomplished" at a house called "East Bank" in Lytham. By 1871 the
school was at 11, Agnew Street and Catherine was in partnership with Anne Robson
and assisted by Miss Robson's niece, Elizabeth Hall.
About 1880 the school moved into a large new building
in St.Annes and was known as Belgrave House School. In 1887 a
purpose-built school building was erected by Porritts on North Promenade and it was
renamed St.Annes High School
for Girls.
