The Marvell College


The Marvell College is a coeducational secondary school located in Kingston upon Hull in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. The school was originally named after Andrew Marvell, a 17th century metaphysical poet and politician. When the Andrew Marvell College became an academy in September 2016 it became The Marvell College.
The school opened in 1953 as Barham High School and Jervis High School. The schools were named after HMS Barham and HMS Jervis, former Royal Navy war ships. Barham was exclusively for girls and Jervis exclusively for boys. Both schools were later combined, became coeducational and was later renamed Andrew Marvell School. Today it is an academy administered by Hull Collaborative Academy Trust, and offers GCSEs, BTECs and Cambridge Nationals as programmes of study for pupils.
Andrew Marvell College moved into new buildings in January 2013. Since this time the school has made its facilities available to the local community outside of school hours.
