  Leeds Grammar School & Leeds Girls' High School are merging...
At both schools examination results are among the best in the country and there is an excellent track record in adding value to academic performance and ensuring the development of gifted students beyond the set syllabuses.
The Grammar School at Leeds will preserve the educational integrity and academic excellence of the original schools, combining the best traditions of both with an innovative approach in order to create what we hope will become one of the most outstanding schools of its type in the country.
At present social, artistic and sporting activities are abundant in both schools, and boys and girls are given ample opportunity to excel in and enjoy the activities of their choice.

 Ermysted's Grammar School - Archives
Another sign that soccer had its detractors in the School came in the form of a senior debate in November 1905, where the motion was The supremacy of Association Football over Rugby.
The School’s adoption of William Ermysted’s coat of arms in 1907 was clearly a gesture in this direction, as was the switch back to ‘Rugby’ football.
The School’s position on the rugby map was acknowledged in 1912 by the Yorkshire RFU sending a strong ‘Yorkshire Wanderers’ XV team to play at ‘Sandylands’.
