Simon Langton Grammar School for Boys

Description

Simon Langton Grammar School for Boys is an English school of over 1,300 pupils and staff, located on the outskirts of Canterbury, Kent. It holds both foundation and grammar school status. Its sister school is Simon Langton Girls' Grammar School. It is situated on the B2068 towards the Canterbury bypass, south of the city. Students from all over East Kent, within nine miles of the school , typically join the school in Year 7 and can then stay on until GCSE examinations in Year 11. However, the majority of students decide to stay on into the sixth form. The lower school is boys-only and the sixth form is mixed-sex.

The school was founded along with its sister school in 1881,
succeeding the Blue Coat Boys' School housed at the Poor Priest's Hospital in order to provide better education for the lower proportion of the Middle Class. The schools were originally called the Canterbury Middle Schools, but in order to dispel the impression that the schools were socially exclusive , they were renamed in 1887 after Simon Langton, Archdeacon of Canterbury , who, after his death in 1248, had left behind endowments to the Poor Priest's Hospital .
