This gallery of photos from our archive takes a look back over the years at Sheffield’s Myers Grove School.

Myers Grove School was founded in 1960 as the first purpose-built comprehensive school in Sheffield.

It later merged with Wisewood School Community Sports College to become Forge Valley Community School in 2011.

Our photos show pupils and events at the school from the 1960s through to the final day in 2011.
