Beverley Grammar School is an 11–16 boys’ comprehensive secondary academy school in Beverley, East Riding of Yorkshire, England. The origins of Beverley Grammar School may date back to about the year 700 AD; and the school is thus claimed to be the country's oldest grammar school, and the eighth oldest school in the world of any kind, but the existence of a school here is not continuous.
The school shares a joint sixth form with Beverley High School, styled as "Beverley Joint 6th". The teaching is done by the staff of the two schools.
The school has received an 'Outstanding' in Ofsted inspections in 2006, 2008, and in 2010. However it was unable to sustain such a high level record when deemed 'requires improvement' in 2013. The school was re-awarded 'outstanding' in September 2021.
The headmaster is Gavin Chappell, who took over from Gillian Todd in September 2015.
