HistoryThe school was founded in 1984 through the merger of Heversham Grammar School and Milnthorpe Secondary School. Heversham School was founded and endowed on 24 January 1619/20,[1] by Edward Wilson, Kt (1557-1653), of Nether Levens, who also owned Heversham Hall.[2] It occupied the site known in recent years as Old School, above and behind the village church, on Heversham Head. The building is now a private house. The present ivy-clad Boarding House and Big School (formerly the school hall) date from the 1890s. A crater on the moon – the Whewell (crater) – is named after a Heversham old boy, the distinguished polymath William Whewell (1794–1866). Whewell's influence extends to our everyday language: he coined the words physicist and scientist. Charles Darwin chose a quote by Whewell as the very first words to appear in the first (1859) edition of The Origin Of Species. After occupying many different buildings around the village, Milnthorpe Secondary School moved to its current location, complete with Community Centre, in 1968. Dallam is a boarding school, the boarding house being on a separate site from that of the main school. In 2010, the school brought the PE department down from the Heversham site with an all-weather astroturf pitch. In 2018, Mr Nigel Whittle became the headteacher of the school.
