2012

Here you will find updates on what the school is proposing to do to mark its 500th anniversary.

Activities to date

  • The qunicentenary 'year' to run from September 2011 - Sept 2012.
  • The Queen has been officially invited to come to the school in May 2012; the date to coincide as closely as possible to the date of her visit in 1962 which marked the school's 450th anniversary.
  • A schedule has been drawn up identifying key events in the calendar which will form the basis of the year of celebration. A full itinerary will be available to download from this website very soon.
  • WGS - A History of Wolverhampton's Grammar School is being launched Founder's Day, 2010. This commemorative book is a wonderful celebration of 500 years of WGS and will be available to order directly from the school.


  • Class reunions

    The first reunion planned in the lead up to 2012 is now being organised....

    The 1990 Reunion - 20 years on!

    Saturday 24th April, 12 noon for 12:30pm

    Join me, Nic Anderson, in celebrating 20 years since we left WGS in a reunion lunch.  Please contact others from our year – the more we can bring along, the better the event will be.
