Grammar School At Leeds
The Grammar School at Leeds (GSAL) is an independent school in Leeds, England, created on 4 August 2005 from the merger of Leeds Grammar School and Leeds Girls' High School.
The schools physically merged in September 2008, at which point the school became open to both sexes. The school is now situated on two sites: the Senior School (ages 11–18) and Junior School (7–11) at the Alwoodley Site, while the Leeds Girls' High School site in Headingley is used by the Infant School and a new Nursery School. The merged school operates as a "diamond school" meaning that classes for girls and boys between the ages of 11 and 16 remain segregated, but all extracurricular activities are mixed. Classes for all below the age of 11 and in the Sixth Form are co-educational. During the merger consultation process, the student, parent and teaching bodies of both schools decided on the 4 major goals of The Grammar School at Leeds. These would be to achieve academic excellence, opportunity, care and integrity.
The Grammar School at Leeds is a fee-paying school, but bursaries and scholarships are available.

Famous quotes containing the words grammar and/or school:
“Hence, a generative grammar must be a system of rules that can iterate to generate an indefinitely large number of structures. This system of rules can be analyzed into the three major components of a generative grammar: the syntactic, phonological, and semantic components.”
—Noam Chomsky (b. 1928)
“Children in home-school conflict situations often receive a double message from their parents: “The school is the hope for your future, listen, be good and learn” and “the school is your enemy. . . .” Children who receive the “school is the enemy” message often go after the enemy—act up, undermine the teacher, undermine the school program, or otherwise exercise their veto power.”
—James P. Comer (20th century)
