Penistone Grammar School

Story

Penistone Grammar School is a co-educational secondary school and former grammar school in Penistone, in the Metropolitan Borough of Barnsley, South Yorkshire, England. It was founded in 1392 and its most notable alumnus is Nicholas Saunderson, the probable inventor of Bayes theorem, in the 18th century. The school has undergone many expansions, requiring the erection of several buildings, and now houses nearly 1,600 pupils from age 11 to 18. Its current OFSTED overall rating is grade 2 ('good') following an Ofsted inspection in October 2013.HistoryThe school was founded as the Free Grammar School of Penistone in 1392, when it is recorded that a gift of land was made by John Clarel, Lord of the Manor at Penistone, for the purpose of a school. Later, the school was situated in the town centre on a site opposite St. John the Baptist Church and across the road from the old Cloth Hall. In 1443 the Free Grammar School of Penistone received further bequests and in 1547, after the dissolution of the chantries, the school continued as the free school for the children of Penistone. Following further endowments, the school was rebuilt in 1702 and enjoyed a considerable period of academic renown under a series of very able Masters. In 1892 the school withdrew from its town centre site to a position about half a mile north-west of the town centre. Around this time the school took fee-paying boarders, had a strong reputation for mathematics and science, and a tradition of sending students to the University of Cambridge. The school remains on this site.

Best friend got excluded for a teacher intimidating him with verbal violence. Heard a lot about this school and its bad reputation I'm so looking forward to my best friend leaving it.
isss bad school more like a prison then a school teachers dunno how to teach but shoutout miss mann at galvins
Absolute sham of a school, unless you happen to be financially well off, and are willing to send your children into school with students who carry weapons, certainly not recommended if your child is unfortunate enough to suffer with behavioural difficulties or physical disability as bullying and prejudice is rife within the establishment.
Love it gray school
Best school ever
