Spitalgate School, Station Road East, Grantham, Lincolnshire, England.

Spitalgate School was a school in Grantham, Lincolnshire, England. It was opened in the middle of the 19th century and closed in 1977. The school buildings were used for commercial purposes, including an indoor market and antiques centre.

The school was originally called the Spitalgate National School. It was built on the site of a former hospital, hence the name. The school was funded by the Church of England and was intended to provide education for the children of the poor.

The school was expanded several times over the years. By the early 20th century, it was one of the largest schools in Grantham. The school had a reputation for academic excellence and many of its pupils went on to study at university.

Spitalgate School closed in 1977. The closure was due to a number of factors, including declining enrolment and the need to consolidate schools. The school buildings were sold to a private developer were used for commercial purposes.

The future of Spitalgate School is uncertain. There have been plans to convert the school buildings into apartments, but these plans have not yet been finalised. The school buildings are also a popular spot for graffiti artists, and there have been concerns about the impact this is having on the buildings.
