Gloucestershire Secondary Schools

Here are the secondary schools in Gloucestershire, including the schools under the Gloucestershire local education authority control, academies and independent schools. Academies are state funded schools, where funding comes directly from central government, rather than through the local education authority. They have the responsibility for setting their own curriculum as well as pay and conditions for staff. The Gloucestershire grammar schools are: The Crypt School (boys), High School for Girls (girls), Marling School (boys), Pate's Grammar School (mixed), Ribston Hall High School (girls), Sir Thomas Rich's School (boys), Stroud High School (girls). All the grammar schools use the same test which is taken at the beginning of October each year. You will also find the link to the Gloucestershire closed schools website for when schools decide to close due to bad weather or other circumstances.
