York College for Girls was a girls' school in York, England, founded in 1908 and closed in 1997.[1]
The school was founded by the Church Schools Company (later the United Church Schools Trust) and opened with twelve pupils on 24 January 1908 in Low Petergate, York, in a building dating to around 1725.[2] By 1997, the school had about 200 pupils and was in the same buildings with later extensions.
In 1996, there were reports of a "cash crisis"[3] and the school closed in 1997.[4]
The buildings are grade II* listed,[2][5] and after the school closed they became the home of the restaurant La Vecchia Scuola ("the old school" in Italian),[6] which is still in operation.
Notable former pupils include:
