 Chartered by Edward VI in 1549 as a grammar school for boys , for much of its history it offered a largely classical curriculum of Greek , Latin and arithmetic under the governance of the Wisbech Corporation . The school has moved premises several times since its foundation , being based in St Peter 's Church , the old guildhall in Hill Street and on South Brink before merging with the Wisbech High School for Girls in 1970 at their present site on North Brink .
