As part of its academy status it is partnered with the independent Radley College, Microsoft and The John Lewis Partnership.HistoryThe school was founded as Maidenhead County Grammar School in 1894.

St Anne’s Cathedral, Belfast

St Anne’s Cathedral, Belfast

Donegall Street, Belfast ,
St Anne's Cathedral, also known as Belfast Cathedral, is a cathedral of the Church of Ireland in Donegall Street, Belfast, Northern Ireland. It is unusual in serving two separate dioceses (Connor and Down and Dromore), yet being the seat of neither (it is geographically in the Diocese of Connor), it is therefore not a cathedral in the truest sense of the word, a cathedral being a church housing the seat of a bishop. It is, however, titled as such. It is the focal point of the Cathedral Quarter, Belfast.
