History
In 1854 Sir Henry Cooper was elected Mayor of Hull and, on the occasion of the visit of Queen Victoria in October of that year, he received a Knighthood. He became a member and first Chairman of the Hull School Board in 1871. When the Board Schools opened in 1876 at Bean Street, Hull, they were named the 'Sir Henry Cooper Schools' and, following their closure, the name was transferred to this school when it opened in September 1967.[citation needed]
Sir Henry Cooper School closed in 2012, with pupils transferring to the newly built Thomas Ferens Academy.[1] The building of the academy, sponsored by the University of Hull, met local opposition, with concerns that construction could cause "flooding, traffic problems and loss of green space".[2] The school was renamed Sirius Academy North in 2015.
From September 2012 to September 2013 the school site was the temporary home of Newland School for Girls, while its own buildings were reconstructed.[3]
