Why Choose Penistone Grammar School?
A message from the Principal, Paul Crook
Our students are amazing, and they deserve nothing less than a first-class education that inspires them to achieve more than they believe is possible. At Penistone Grammar School we recognise and value the contribution each member of staff makes in delivering this promise for our young people. Our school is a positive, welcoming, happy place to learn and to work. This is directly attributable to the collaborative interaction and support between colleagues, which is complemented by their commitment to do all they can for the benefit of each and every one of our students; inside, outside and beyond the classroom. Put quite simply, we owe everything we are to our staff.
PGS continues to be consistently over-subscribed with our growth over the last four-years seeing pupil numbers increase from 1600 to almost 2000. Our Post-16 Centre is more popular than ever before, securing its place as one of the top 10% of providers nationally, and we continue to evolve, developing and innovating to introduce new practice and aspects of education that support our students’ learning, such as the introduction of our SEND specialist provision, HeartSpace. Can you make a difference to the lives of young people? If you believe you can add value to the lives of our children, we’re excited to hear from you.
