Beverley Grammar School is a boys' comprehensive state secondary academy school in Beverley, East Riding of Yorkshire, England. It was founded in 700 AD and is the country's oldest state school and the eighth oldest school overall. The school is a specialist Engineering College and shares a mixed Sixth form with Beverley High School. The school has received an 'Outstanding' in Ofsted inspections in 2006, 2008, and in 2010. However it was unable to sustain such a high level record when deemed 'requires improvement' in 2013. The current headteacher is Gavin Chappell, who took over from Gillian Todd in September 2015.
The expressive arts block was completed in October 1999 and includes four classrooms, music practice rooms, music teaching rooms and a drama studio. This was named after the former head of the school and the Chairman of Governors - Richard Michael Scrowston.
The sixth form block incorporating a sixth form common room, teaching rooms, an ICT room, a private study room and offices for staff was opened in 2004. However, since this time, this block has been turned into a Maths block, with the old Maths rooms being used for a larger office space, Psychology and History teaching and a careers library.
The school is based in Beverley, England and the Beverley Westwood can be seen from its rear classrooms and Science Department. The school's main building and reception are situated at the top of its drive with two main entrances at the front of the school site through its main gate and far path.
The building consists of two main structures and a cluster of subject specific buildings surrounding it. The staff room, the main hall, Business Studies, the psychology classrooms and the Careers Room are situated in the main building. The Geography Department, Languages Section and Exam Room are in the smaller section of the main building. The Science Department are situated in both sections. Surrounding subjects are the Technology Department, the Maths' Block, Sports Hall, Expressive Arts Department and the 6th form block.
