Grove Park School, Wrexham
The Grove Park School (or simply the Groves School) is a former school building in Wrexham, North Wales, which was home to a school between 1939 and 2003. The site has been derelict since 2003, and was proposed for demolition by Wrexham council, until the Welsh Government listed the building in 2016 following a campaign to preserve it. Various bids have been made to re-develop the site, including becoming part of Coleg Cambria, converted into a new primary school or a Welsh-medium secondary school, a medical training facility, and most recently part of a national gallery. There were initially two schools using the local name Grove Park, a boys and a girls school, based on Grove Park Road and Chester Road respectively, until they were both converted into comprehensive schools, with the former boys school merging to the main existing girls school site, in which it became the Bromfield High School and later Groves High School. The old boys school buildings became part of Coleg Cambria's Yale campus.
