Beverley Grammar School is an 11–16 boys’ comprehensive secondary academy school in Beverley, East Riding of Yorkshire, England. A school may have been established under the Beverley Grammar School name about 700 AD;[4] on that basis the school is claimed to be the country's oldest grammar school,[5] and the eighth oldest school overall, but the existence of a school here is not continuous. The school shares a joint Sixth form with Beverley High School, styled as Beverley Joint 6th.[6]
The school has received an 'Outstanding' in Ofsted inspections in 2006,[7] 2008,[8] and in 2010. However it was unable to sustain such a high level record when deemed 'requires improvement' in 2013.[9] The school was re-awarded 'outstanding' in September 2021.[10]
The headteacher is Gavin Chappell,[11] who took over from Gillian Todd in September 2015.[12]
