School Summary
Adams’ Grammar School was founded in 1656 by William Adams, a wealthy member of the Worshipful Company of Haberdashers (hence its name). It is one of the UK’s top grammar schools with common league table topping exam results. The school is one of only 38 boarding schools in the UK and is among a very small group of selective, state funded, boarding schools. This means that you only pay the fees of boarding if your child attends the schools; all education is free.
Boy’s can choose to either board or attend the day school and girls can join for the sixth form (ages 16-18) only.
Back in 2018 the school changed its name from Adams’ Grammar School (AGS) to Haberdashers’ Adams Grammar School.
