The City of London was divided into wards for the purpose of government as early as Norman times. The wards had responsibility to keep the peace, supervise trade and oversee sanitation, and each ward has the right to elect an Alderman and Commoners to sit in the Court of Common Council. Coleman Street Ward adjoins Broad Street Ward on the east and south, Bassishaw Ward on the west and Cheap Ward on the south.

The school was established by subscription in 1718 for boys and girls, and used premises in Little Swan Alley and Copthall Avenue in the parish of St Stephen Coleman Street. In 1786 a school-house for girls was built by subscription in Crosskey Court, London Wall, on ground belonging to the parish of St Stephen Coleman Street. The schools for boys and girls were both subsequently administered by the National Society.

The records of Coleman Street Ward Schools have been deposited with the Manuscripts Section of Guildhall Library at various dates since 1952. They were catalogued by members of Guildhall Library staff. The Guildhall Library Manuscripts Section merged with the London Metropolitan Archives in 2009.
