At some point in the late 19th or early 20th century, the school started to admit girls.
Then for the first time in the school's history, girls were admitted.
However, as of 1994, girls have also been admitted to the school.
The first girls were admitted to the school in 1758.
Following the success of the move, girls were admitted to all years in 1997.
The school was boys only until 1982, when girls were admitted into the 6th form.
At first it took boys only; girls were admitted in 1898.
Since 1998, the school has admitted girls to its sixth form.
In the late 18th century, girls gradually were admitted to town schools.
At the beginning only girls were admitted, although the school accepted boys soon after.
