History
Glenealy School was founded as the May Road School in January 1959. It was built due to overcrowding at Peak School and Quarry Bay School.[7] It was renamed Glenealy Junior School by its first headmistress, Doreen Handyside[8][9] with 11 classes and 14 staff.[10] Originally located on Kennedy Road, the school was temporarily housed at the Victoria Barracks, Hong Kong in Admiralty after demolition in 1982. It was moved to a purpose-built site on Hornsey Road in 1989. The former site would later be turned into Hong Kong Park[11] [12]. It continues to be one of the smallest primary schools in the ESF.[13]
From 1990 to 2001, the school was the home of Ambassador International Church [14]
