Its foundation dates to the death in 1509 of Robert Beckingham, who left a provision in his will to "make a free scole at the Towne of Guldford"; in 1512 a governing body was set up to form the school. The school moved to the present site (pictured) in the upper High Street after the granting of a royal charter from King Edward VI on 27 January 1553. Since the school's founding, notable alumni have included the 75th archbishop of Canterbury, Olympic athletes, the longest-serving speaker of the House of Commons of the United Kingdom, several other members of Parliament of the United Kingdom, a founding member of the East India Company, and the 11th premier of New Zealand.
