Welcome to

The Gilberd School

We are delighted to welcome you to The Gilberd School.

Founded in 1912 and celebrating 110 years in 2022, we are proud of our rich heritage. Beginning life as a selective boys’ technical school and later, a co-educational grammar school, we are now a highly performing and forward-looking, non-selective, co-educational academy. Our simple motto perfectly encapsulates the formula for our continuing success:

Engage, Endeavour, Excel.

We believe The Gilberd School is exceptional; a long tradition of academic success irrespective of starting points, coupled to a wealth of opportunities for all Gilberdians, means we develop confident, articulate and caring young adults who are fully prepared to face the challenges of the twenty-first century.

Whilst this website will provide you with essential information and a flavour of our unique culture, the hallmark of a successful school is the atmosphere you experience the moment you walk through the doors. Put simply, there is no substitute for visiting in person. We welcome all prospective parents at our annual Open Evening and Open Morning events and so we look forward to meeting you in September 2023.
