Present Day
Lawrence Sheriff School is now the selective boys' grammar school for Rugby and the surrounding area, with the buildings owned and maintained by the Governors, and the running costs funded by the local Authority.
The school also has an old boys society: the Old Laurentians.
The school has been expanded greatly in the last five years with the construction of a new sixth form centre and the conversion of Penrhos House, originally the sixth form common room, into a Music block, as well as the construction of a new Learning Resources Centre.

Famous quotes containing the words present and/or day:

—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Mordre wol out; that se we day by day.”
—Geoffrey Chaucer (1340–1400)
