Spilsby Grammar school was founded in 1550 under Royal Charter initially the school had no school building and lessons took place in the chapel at Willoughby's Eresby Manor estate. In 1839 a new school was built on its current site. In 1954 the local education authority built a second secondary school for those children who did not pass the 11+ examination and attend grammar school. In 1991 Lincolnshire's education authority announced that it was to amalgamate the two Spilsby schools. The building stood empty and unused for several years but could not be demolished due to its Grade 2 Listed Building status until in 2007 the grammar school building was reoccupied and now serves as the "Spilsby Centre of Excellence and Multi Use".
