King Charles I School, Kidderminster

This is the only school in the UK to be named after King Charles I, although its origins pre-date his reign. It was founded by Thomas Blount, Lord of the Manor of Kidderminster, in about 1566 and given its royal charter by Charles I in 1636. It amalgamated with Queen Elizabeth I Grammar School at Hartlebury and Kidderminster High School for Girls in 1977 when it became established on its present site (although the lowest two years have separate premises nearby). The school now has academy status.
