Penistone Grammar School (PGS[1]) is a large co-educational secondary school with a sixth form located in Penistone, South Yorkshire, England.[2]
Founded in 1392, it is amongst the oldest extant schools in England, with alumni including Nicholas Saunderson, the probable inventor of Bayes theorem, in the 18th century.[3] At various times in its history it has been single-sex and mixed, free and fee-paying, selective and comprehensive, boarding and day. It has undergone several moves and extensions, and today houses around 1,700 pupils from age 11 to 18.[4] PGS' Ofsted overall rating is grade 2 ('Good'), following an inspection in February 2023.[5]
