Ermysted's Grammar School is an 11-18 boys' voluntary aided grammar school in Skipton, North Yorkshire, England.[2]
It was founded by Peter Toller[3] in the 15th century and is the seventh oldest state school in Britain.[4] The first official record of the school was seen in Peter Toller's will in 1492;[5] the school records its establishment as the same year, though its history could possibly be dated to 1468. The school operates a house system. The four houses — Toller, Ermysted, Petyt, and Hartley — are named after key figures in the school's history; when the school operated a boarding house, its boarders were members of School House.[6]
There are 840 currently enrolled students. The Sixth Form is formed from boys graduating Key Stage 4, as well as 20 additional boys.[7] The current headmaster is Michael Evans;[8] his predecessor, Graham Hamilton, retired at the end of the 2015-2016 school year.
