Penistone Grammar School

Welcome

Penistone Grammar School really is a special place to work. There’s no doubt that our amazing student body of 1900 and our state-of-the-art building, set in beautiful surroundings, make coming to work worthwhile. However, what really makes Penistone the school it is, is our staff. Our success as a school is directly attributable to the collaborative interaction and support between colleagues, complemented by a commitment to doing all they can for the benefit of each and every one of our students. We value the unique contribution each member of staff makes to our learning community.

​

A Clear Vision

We believe that our students deserve first class teaching, a ‘values driven’ approach to learning, and to be part of a strong and supportive school community where they can flourish and achieve more than they ever believed possible.

 

We pride ourselves on ensuring all our students are given the support they need to make excellent progress, regardless of their starting point or context. At Key Stage 4 our students, on average, make almost half a grade better progress than their peers nationally. At Post-16, our A Level results for the past five years have placed us in the top 10% of providers nationally.

 

Every member of staff, regardless of their role, is committed to providing an excellent educational experience for each of our students and all leaders are committed to creating the climate and conditions to facilitate this.
