Dallam School is a co-educational 11-18 secondary school with academy status, located in Milnthorpe, Cumbria, England. It was founded in 1984 through the merger of Heversham Grammar School (established in 1613) and Milnthorpe Secondary School.
Heversham Grammar School was founded and endowed on 24 January 1619/20,[1] by Edward Wilson, Kt (1557-1653), of Nether Levens, who also owned Heversham Hall.[2] It occupied the site known in recent years as Old School, above and behind the village church, on Heversham Head.
