Tenax propositi ulteriora peto (1927–present)
Glyn School is a boys' comprehensive secondary school – with a co-educational sixth form – in the borough of Epsom and Ewell in the English county of Surrey.
The school was rated as an "outstanding" school in January 2009 and at the next, and most recent inspection in May 2012 by Ofsted, the non-ministerial government department of Her Majesty's Chief Inspector of Schools in England. Former pupils include Jack Cork, who is an English football player who currently plays for the team Swansea City.
The school was originally called Epsom County Grammar School for Boys, which then was changed to Glyn County Secondary Boys Grammar School (informally Glyn Grammar). After its transformation into a comprehensive school it was named Glyn ADT and then Glyn Technology School. Latterly, from 1 April 2011, after its conversion to academy status, the school has been known as Glyn School.
As of September 1993, the sixth form began accepting applications from female students, generally from neighbouring girls' school, Rosebery. This experiment was abandoned and started again in 2005. Since then, the female population at the school has grown from a handful to represent around 25% of the sixth-form body. In 2010, the role of Head Girl was established to represent them alongside the male majority of the school.
The school's GCSE results reached successive record heights in each of the 7 years to 2013, the school's A level results of 2012 passing the previous best of 2009. The GCSE results in 2012 saw 93% gaining at least 5 GCSEs between A* to C and 86% gaining five or more including English and mathematics. 93% and 87% for 2013, ranking number 2 for two years running in Surrey for state secondary schools. The 2013 results for Glyn boys compared to boys in all Surrey state schools ranks Glyn at number 1.
