The school was officially opened on 18 January 1910 by the Archbishop of York, Cosmo Gordon Lang. The school's name was changed in 1920 and Queen Anne was chosen as it was situated on Queen Anne's Road. The school emblem was a sphinx underneath which was a furled ribbon reading the school motto Quod Potui Perfeci. The school became a co-educational comprehensive in 1985 and was renamed Queen Anne School. It closed in June 2000 and in 2001 St Olave's School moved to the site.
