Description

Admin History:

The Hull College of Commerce formed in 1936 from the Technical College. To ease pressure on the Technical College some of its departments were detached and made autonomous, and in 1936 the Hull College began to provide full-time day courses. It shared its building with the High School of Commerce on Brunswick Avenue. The building had originally opened in 1896 as the Central Grade Higher School, that moved in 1920 to Cottingham Road to become Newland High School.

The High School for Commerce began as a day department of the College of Commerce but opened as a High School in its own right in 1951. The High School achieved full secondary technical status in 1955, and a sixth form was added to the school in 1959.
