NEW SCHOOL HISTORY - ON SALE NOW
The new school history is now available for sale from Portsmouth
Grammar School at £24.99 per copy.
‘Independent Vision: A History of the Portsmouth Grammar
School’ tells how the city’s oldest school, founded
in 1732, survived its modest beginnings and evolved under a succession
of far-sighted heads to become one of the country’s leading
independent, co-educational day schools.
In a lively and witty narrative and sumptuously illustrated with
more than 200 reproductions of prints, photographs and paintings,
professional historian Nigel Watson unravels the compelling story
of PGS, intrinsically linked with, and grounded in, the history
of one of Britain’s greatest naval ports.
Headmaster James Priory says: “More than 275 years ago Dr
William Smith turned vision into reality and I am delighted we are
able to celebrate the school’s growth in stature and confidence
with this new history.
Hundreds of people from the school community have contributed to
its research, including a series of wonderfully innovative Year
9 history projects.
What emerges is a school which is proud of its traditions and city
roots, but eager to look beyond itself to the wider community it
serves. As the story of how Portsmouth’s oldest school grew
to enjoy a national reputation, this book shows brilliantly the
transforming power of an independent vision.”
