Grosvenor Grammar School is a co-educational〔(Grosvenor Grammar School Welcome Page )〕 controlled〔(Belfast Education and Library Board )〕 grammar school in Belfast, Northern Ireland. It has a staff of 73 full-time teachers. Grosvenor Grammar School was founded (as Grosvenor High School) in 1945 by the Belfast Corporation to cope with the increase in demand for grammar-school education in the area. It was sited in Roden Street, off the Grosvenor Road, and remained there until 1958, when the school moved to Cameronian Drive in the east of the city. In 2010, the school moved to Marina Park where it is at present.〔(Grosvenor Grammar School new school announcement )〕 Its headmasters have been William Moles (1945–1972), Ken Reid (1972–1993), John Lockett (1993–2008), and R. S. McLoughlin (2008–2014). On 19 December 2014 Robin McLoughlin made his final speech at Grosvenor before moving on to Banbridge Academy, making way for the schools first headmistress Dr Frances Vasey (2014-Present). 〔 The area from which the school draws its pupils has expanded enormously over the years, to include greater Belfast and north and mid-Down. In order to avoid confusion with non-grammar 'high schools', the school changed its name in 1993 to Grosvenor Grammar School. In rugby, the school has won the Ulster Schools Cup once (in 1983).〔(Ulster School's Cup Statistics Archive )〕 Democratic Unionist politician Sammy Wilson MP MLA is a former economics teacher at the school.
