The Royal Wolverhampton School (Seniors)
In 1850 Mr John Lees, a prominent Victorian merchant and a resident of Wolverhampton, opened an orphanage on Queen Street in the town centre to care for children who had become orphaned following the cholera epidemics of the time. Initially the orphanage looked after 13 children, all boys, but due to the increasing numbers of children in need he commenced building a larger property on the Penn Road in 1852 which was given the name The Orphan Asylum. The site was gradually extended as donated funds became available with the majority of the Senior School site being built by the end of 19th Century. The Royal Orphanage of Wolverhampton was created in 1891 when Queen Victoria gave permission for the prefix 'Royal' to be used. The charity carried on using this title until the late 1940s when King George VI permitted it to be re-styled The Royal Wolverhampton School.
