homepage = http://www.grammar.sch.ggThe mixed gender school is for students aged 11-18 and entry requires passing of the Eleven Plus examination. It admits students from across Guernsey, and also some from Alderney and Sark. However, students from other secondary schools in Guernsey who want to pursue A Levels transfer to the school after GCSEs.
The current school is the result of the amalgamation of the old Girls' and Boys' Intermediate Schools. The school was opened in 1985 and the current headteacher is Jeff Smith, who succeeded Dennis Balls in September 2006. Dennis Balls is now retired and currently residing in southern France although still making frequent visits to the island to visit the school and see his family. Jeff Smith came to The Grammar School and Sixth Form Centre after a job as "Representative of the British Education Department" in Indonesia.
The school had one student who was awarded the Victoria Cross during World War I.
The Sixth Form Centre was opened in 2005. It has more facilities and was built to accommodate the rising amount of students who wish to carry on after GCSEs to undertake AS and A Levels. The school was awarded the 'Healthy Schools standard' in 2004.
