The Lytham Schools Foundation was established in 1719 after a flood disaster in the town. In 1908, one hundred and eighty-nine years after the foundation's initial formation, King Edward VII School was opened to provide an education for local boys. The opening of the girls' Queen Mary School followed in 1930.
KEQMS was amalgamated with Arnold School in 2012, to form AKS Lytham, a co-educational independent school that is now situated on the previous King Edward VII School site.
