Penistone Grammar School is a comprehensive school and former grammar school in Penistone, in the Metropolitan Borough of Barnsley, South Yorkshire, England. It was founded in 1392 and its most notable alumnus is Nicholas Saunderson, the probable inventor of Bayes theorem, in the eighteenth century. The school has undergone many expansions, requiring the erection of several buildings, and now houses nearly 1,600 pupils from age 11 to 18. The school motto was until recently Disce Aut Discede ("Learn or leave"), but since a 2003 rebranding this has been changed to "Learning and Achieving Together". The school colours are red and black, and its coat of arms is the six footless martlets of the Clarel family. The school was rebranded again in 2010, changing the logo to one similar to the Seagate logo, and changing the motto to Never Stop Flying. Its current OFSTED overall rating is grade 3 ('satisfactory') as of the February 2012 inspection.
