Wolverhampton Grammar School

Wolverhampton Grammar School is an independent school in Wolverhampton with a campus featuring modern classrooms, specialized arts facilities, sports grounds, and a theater for student performances. The grounds include spaces for various departments to support different learning needs.

The school was founded in 1512 by Sir Stephen Jenyns, who later became Lord Mayor of London, as an educational foundation. It emerged during a period when educational institutions were beginning to expand across England.

The school emphasizes a broad program that extends beyond traditional subjects to include music, drama, and visual arts. Students can pursue many activities outside class to explore their interests.

The school provides transportation for students living outside Wolverhampton who travel from surrounding towns. Visitors should check in advance about access routes and available parking.

The campus combines a Grade II listed building with newer additions including a rock climbing wall and a specialized music block. This blend shows how the school has preserved its long history while also modernizing.
