The origins of this school lie in the block to the immediate north of this unit built by Sir G.G. Scott in 1869 for Doncaster Grammar School. This school expanded to the south during the mid 20th century before reopening as a ‘Comprehensive’ in the late 20th century. This area of the school was developed in an area of long standing horticultural use, being depicted in 1851, 1891, 1903 and 1906 as a ‘Botanical Nursery’ and in 1930 as ‘Christ Church Nursery’. No legibility of these gardens survives in the present arrangement although the school has expanded into some surrounding mid-late 19th century detached housing of the ‘Christ Church’ suburb.
