Cork High School and Kindergarten was founded in 1876 and Cork Grammar School in 1882. The schools merged at an early stage and were originally located in Sydney Place in Cork. They moved to the Blackrock Road site in 1956 when a new extension and classrooms were built as an addition to the house on the original site. Canon G. H. J. Burrows was the headmaster from 1947 to 1971, being succeeded by Mr. Sam McCutcheon (1971 -1972).
