Tudor Grange Grammar School

Tudor Grange Grammar School was established in Solihull in the late 1950s

Tudor Grange Grammar School began as an entity at Lode Heath School, Lode Lane in September 1951, with two mixed classes 1G1&1G2. The formative school continued in these temporary arrangements until the new boy's school on Dingle Lane was opened in September 1956 with an oficial opening on Tuesday July 23 1957. The cost of building the new school is reported to have been £176,445.

In addition to the established Lode Heath School contingent, the new intake also included boys from Sharman's Cross Secondary Modern School. The new intake was subsequently drawn from boys passing the 11+ exam.

The original Headmaster was Mr A. R. Munday MA Cantab who subsequently moved to be headmaster at the King's School, Chester in 1962.

The school taught a total of 600 boys.

The motto of the school was Omnibus prodesse - to be of service to all men

Subesquent to the construction of the boy's school, a school for girls was built next door. The two schools had playing fields which shared a common boundary, greatly adding to the enthusaism for outdoor sports in both schools.
