17 celebrities who attended High Storrs School in Sheffield, including Kyle Walker and Harry Potter actor

Two England footballers, a Paralympic champion and a slew of film and TV stars are among the celebrities produced by the same Sheffield school.

Kyle Walker and Esme Morgan, who have both represented the Three Lions with distinction, are just two of the famous names who attended High Storrs School.

They are part of a long list of notable alumni from the secondary school on High Storrs Road.

A Coronation Street actor, a former That’s Life and Watchdog presenter, stars of two much-loved sitcoms and leading lights in the worlds of fashion and cookery are among the other big names who attended the school before going on to achieve great things.

High Storrs School dates back to 1880, when it opened as Sheffield Central Technical School.

It later became two separate grammar schools for girls and boys, before merging into a single comprehensive in 1969.

It does not have a uniform, with students allowed to wear what they want as long as they stick to the dress code.
