Welcome to Appleby Grammar School
Appleby Grammar School is a small comprehensive school which currently has 650 students on roll, including a vibrant Sixth Form. The school will become an academy, independent of the local authority, from September 2011. In 2004 AGS was awarded Specialist Technology College Status and re-designated in 2009. Appleby Grammar School is one of seven smaller Cumbrian secondary schools which form the innovative Rural Academy partnership. We also work closely with our partner secondary and primary schools in Eden. Our inclusive ethos and international links have been recognised with the Inclusion Chartermark and International Schools Awards. We work with schools in South Africa, The Netherlands, USA and Taiwan. The school originated as a chantry school from the thirteenth century, and had a Grammar School Charter granted in the sixteenth century, becoming a comprehensive school in the 1960s. The school serves the market town of Appleby and a very large catchment area within the rural Eden Valley between the Lake District National Park, the North Pennines and the Yorkshire Dales. Appleby Grammar School currently employs 44 teaching staff and 38 support staff. The buildings and grounds occupy an attractive, compact site which includes a Community Sports Centre and we have an excellent relationship with the local community, who are very supportive of the school.
