Liverpool Institute High School for Girls, Blackburne Place, Liverpool, England, was a girls' grammar school that was established in 1874 and closed in 1984. It was situated off Hope St to the north-east of Liverpool Cathedral in the area close to the University of Liverpool and Catharine Street (A5039).

History

The school was made a Grade II listed building on 14 March 1975.[1] It was based in Blackburne House that is now the Blackburne House Centre for Women.[2]

By the 1970s it had around 350 girls, with 50 in the sixth form, being administered by the City of Liverpool Education Committee.

Closure

Once Liverpool City Council became Labour-controlled in 1983, having had no overall control from 1974–83, it quickly introduced comprehensive schools in all but one of its grammar schools.
