History
History
The school was opened in 1938. It housed two departments, run as separate entities: the Mellow Lane Senior Boys' School and the Mellow Lane Senior Girls' School. In 1948, Mellow Lane was established as a co-educational comprehensive school. It was then one of only two experimental comprehensives in the UK permitted by the UK Government. It was a grant-maintained school between 1 April 1992 and 31 August 1999, and became a foundation secondary comprehensive school on 1 September 1999. The architects of the building were Curtis and Burchett. The building was extended in 1949 and 1963.
