The Grammar School at Leeds was established via the legal merger of Leeds Grammar School and Leeds Girls' High School in 2005. Both these schools operated on two separate sites which were some distance between each other; Leeds Girls' High School operated from 3 separate sites in Headingley, whilst Leeds Grammar School ran from a 138-acre (0.56 km2) modern campus situated in Alwoodley.
Upon physical merger in 2008, four distinct sections of school were created. The Junior School, Senior School and Sixth Form now operate from substantially extended buildings at the Alwoodley Gates site (originally Leeds Grammar School). The site was redeveloped from 2007 to 2008, and now contains a new Sixth Form and Maths departments whilst the Lawson Library, Science department and Refectory were extended. Rose Court Nursery & Pre-Prep School operates in Headingley; from a new nursery extension and the refurbished building formerly known by Leeds Girls' High School as 'Ford House'. The rest of the Leeds Girls' High School site, which is now surplus to requirements, is currently the subject of discussion with Leeds City Council planning officers prior to anticipated application for outline planning permission for residential housing. The site currently stands empty.
