Torquay Boys Grammar School

About the School

Torquay Boys’ Grammar School is more than a powerful academic institution with a reputation for top quality examination results. They believe ‘Education’ to mean far more than achieving a string of top grades in public examinations; indeed that is a given for all students, so they also offer a comprehensive range of sporting, musical and cultural pursuits with an outstanding record of success unsurpassed in the South West.

The facilities are of a very high quality and provide a wonderful setting for all students to learn. The school mantra has long been to maintain the best of the old and combine it with the best of the new; academic excellence, punctuality, smartness and courtesy combined with a curriculum appropriate to developing students’ skills to equip them for lifelong learning and their future careers.

According to Ofsted, Torquay Boys’ Grammar School is "in every respect an outstanding school. In teaching, learning, achievements, standards, in pastoral care, sport, extra-curricular activities, buildings and resources the school is acknowledged to excel."

The Inspectors wrote: “The school is enthused with a lively and open atmosphere which encourages innovation and underpins a relentless drive to provide the very best education for the student”.
