Where did John Lennon and Paul McCartney go to school?

Answer 1

Quarry Bank Grammar School (John Lennon), Liverpool Institute (Paul McCartney and George Harrison), and Liverpool Secondary Modern School (Ringo Starr). Paul McCartney was the only Beatle to graduate; John Lennon was admitted to Liverpool Art College on his headmaster's personal recommendation.

John Lennon went to the Quarrybank School in Liverpool. This is how his original band came to have the name the Quarrymen.
Paul McCartney and George Harrison were both at the Liverpool Institute. Paul joined the Quarrymen after seeing them perform at a Fete, later Paul's younger friend George also joined.

Answer 2

John Lennon studied at art school for a short time. Paul McCartney followed a liberal arts course of study for a bit longer. Ringo never attended college, and George had an apprenticeship as an electrician.

Answer 3

Unlike in the US, young Brits get on with what would pass for High School at about age 16-17. Then they get one of three choices if they want to continue in school:

Prep for Collage, Trade school, or ART SCHOOL.

The Beatle boys did Art School before going to Hamburg as Rock musicians. Don't know about Ringo(Mr Lucky)

Answer 4

Paul- In '47, he attended Stockton Wood Road Primary School. Then, after passing his Eleven Plus exams, around the '50's, he attended the Joseph Williams Junior School. Later on he probably attended Quarry Bank High School along with John Lennon.

John- In '52, he attended Dovedale Primary School. After passing his Eleven Plus exams, he transferred to Quarry Bank High School.

Well, There you have it!
