OUR VISION
‘what a misfortune the Town is in generall under for want of a Grammar Schoole‛
(Portsmouth Quarter Sessions, 23 October 1717)
In 1732 the dying wish of Dr William Smith, Mayor of Portsmouth and Physician
to its Garrison, was that the Dean and Canons of Christ Church, Oxford would use
his gift of land to establish a grammar school in Portsmouth. Smith’s own
education had taken him from Newport on the Isle of Wight to Leiden University,
one of Europe’s leading centres for medical training. Smith returned to a
successful career in Portsmouth having experienced for himself the transformative
power of learning. In his legacy he wished to make it possible for the city’s
children to experience the same excellence in education and to develop a hunger
for broader horizons.
As the oldest school in the city and, uniquely, a non-denominational Cathedral
School, we continue to honour the legacy of our Founder, whilst adapting our
values for the twenty first century.
Our vision is for The Portsmouth Grammar School to have an outstanding
reputation as a school in which young people are inspired to learn and develop the
confidence to believe in their ability to make a positive difference to the world. We
wish our pupils and our staff to be happy and successful, and in that order. The
Main Archway is symbolic of our inclusivity as a school community and of our
desire to expand horizons:
‘All experience is an arch wherethrough
Gleams that untravelled world’
Tennyson
In the spirit of our founder, Dr William Smith, we seek to provide excellence in all
areas of school life and encourage our girls and boys to think not only about
where they will be at 18 but where they aspire to be at 25. Portsmouth is, after
all, a city concerned with destinations.
Our mission applies both to our pupils and our staff and is to:
Ignite curiosity, imagination and passion for learning
Value each individual and to celebrate what they contribute to the school and
the wider community
Nurture each individual’s intellectual, spiritual, artistic, sporting and social
faculties
Develop each individual’s confidence to lead and serve in a changing world
Provide foundations for the future, from the Nursery to the Sixth Form, for
university and for life

PUPIL WELFARE AND GENERAL CONCERNS
Staff are always keen to share pupils’ interests, and to promote their learning
and welfare. All pupils are welcome to approach any member of staff about any
topic at any time of mutual convenience. The Headmaster has his Private Time,
from 0820 to 0840 each morning, when pupils may see him without appointment
and he is happy to hear from parents about any topic of mutual interest.
When parents have concerns they should always contact their child’s Tutor in
the first instance. The Tutor will, if appropriate, involve other members of staff
such as the Head of House, the Head of Year, a Senior Teacher or the Second
Master, and finally the Headmaster. Should these referrals not deal fully with
the concern, parents may contact the Chairman of Governors via the Clerk to the
Governors, Mr Don Kent, who is also the Bursar.
A pastoral team, consisting of the chaplain and of qualified counsellors and
physicians, may also be approached in cases of personal difficulty. The
Reverend Andrew Burtt, the School Chaplain may be contacted in school at any
time. The School Doctor, Dr Marcus Saunders, may be contacted via the Medical
Centre who may be found during school hours in the Medical Centre (tel 023
9236 4243) or via email medical@pgs.org.uk. The school provides a counselling
service from qualified counsellors and they can be contacted on
school.counsellor@pgs.org.uk. The school also trains a select number of pupils as
Peer Mentors who can be contacted via the email address
peer.mentors@pgs.org.uk
Parents and friends of the school are welcome to attend any of the co-curricular
activities for the term contained in this calendar. Sporting fixtures are shown in
italics, and in inclement weather spectators should check first with the Hilsea
answer phone service: 023 9236 4267. Enquiries about other activities should be
directed to the school: 023 9236 0036.
Chaplain’s Prayer
ALMIGHTY God, the Giver of Wisdom, without Whose help resolutions are vain,
without Whose blessing study is ineffectual, enable us, if it be Thy will, to attain
such knowledge as may qualify us to direct the doubtful, and instruct the ignorant,
to prevent wrongs, and terminate contentions; and grant that we may use that
knowledge which we shall attain, to the good of our fellows. Amen
Samuel Johnson

THE SCHOOL RULES
At all times pupils are expected to display good manners, common sense, honesty and
consideration for others.
Compliance with school rules and any amendments made from time to time is a condition of
pupils’ continued membership of the school. Pupils are expected to adhere to school rules whilst
under school discipline, i.e. throughout the day, on their way to and from school, at all times
whilst wearing school uniform and during any school-based activity. The school seeks to educate
in the broadest sense, giving moral as well as academic and co-curricular foundations. Pupils
should be aware that actions committed out of school discipline have the capacity to harm the
reputation of the school, and are therefore to be regarded as an offence against school discipline.
The School Community
1. Pupils travelling between home and school should behave sensibly and with courtesy
to each other, fellow passengers and to bus drivers, rail staff and other transport staff.
Pupils should show awareness for other pedestrians and extend the courtesy of giving
way when walking in groups.
2. Bullying is not acceptable. Pupils are expected to adhere to the school’s Anti-Bullying
policy.
3. Pupils are expected to behave with dignity: there should be no behaviour likely to
cause embarrassment or offence, such as public displays of affection or bad language.
4. Pupils may not possess or use any of the following whilst under school discipline.
Substances which the school may consider inappropriate include: fireworks, matches,
lighters, laser pens, illegal substances, any offensive weapon or object capable of
bringing the school into disrepute.
5. Pupils are not permitted to bring alcohol onto the school premises, nor are they
permitted to frequent public houses, off-licences or to drink or purchase alcohol whilst
off the premises and in school uniform.
6. The school is a non-smoking establishment. Pupils are not permitted to bring cigarettes,
electronic cigarettes or tobacco in any other form, onto the school premises. Any pupil
discovered smoking whilst in school uniform, whether on or off the premises, will put
at risk their right to remain a pupil at the school. The no smoking rule applies equally
to all trips and outings, either at home or abroad, and in or out of school uniform.
7. Pupils are expected to conform to the school’s dress code and wear full uniform
smartly at all times, unless exemption has been granted by a member of staff in
connection with a particular activity. Pupils should consult the Uniform
- 52 -
requirements on the school website for details including rules relating to make-up
and jewellery.
8. All pupils must attend school on all school days unless prevented by illness or other
unavoidable causes. Should any pupil need to be absent for any reason, their parents
should write in advance to the Headmaster requesting permission. Parents should
notify the Tutor in advance of absences resulting from medical or dental
appointments. It is expected that pupils will sign out at the School Office, notify their
teachers of any planned absence and to catch up on any work that they miss. Absence
for which permission has not been sought in advance must be explained by a parental
letter within 48 hours of the pupil’s return to school. Attendance at Registration,
Assemblies, Tutorial Periods, all timetabled lessons and other timetabled
commitments is mandatory.
9. Pupils are expected to be punctual. Pupils should not be on the school site until 07:50.
In the Senior School, pupils are permitted to wait in the main school quad until 08:30.
The school buildings are open to pupils from 08:30. At the end of the school day pupils
are expected to be off site by 16:10 unless they are involved in a school activity or have
signed into the Homework Club. Homework Club is supervised in the main
school library from 16:00-18:00. Pupils are expected to leave promptly following their
after school activity.
10. Any pupil arriving on the premises after 08:35 or 13:40 will be considered late and
repeated lateness will be reported to the Head of House. Late pupils must sign in
with the Prefects at the Main Arch or, if the Prefects are no longer present, at the
School Office before going in to lessons.
11. Sixth Form pupils may leave the school premises no earlier than the lunch break and
may go home after 12:50 provided they have registered in the Exeat Book and have no
afternoon lessons or other commitments. No Sixth Form pupil may visit any private
house in the lunch break, with the exception of their own, and then only with written
parental permission notified to the Headmaster.
12. Below the Sixth Form, pupils must remain on the school premises at all times during
the school day unless a specific exception has been requested by parents. Pupils who
feel ill must report to the Medical Centre who will contact parents.
13. Pupils selected to represent the school at Games, or in any other capacity such as
musical or dramatic, are expected to honour their commitments. When a pupil
wishes to be excused from such a commitment, permission in advance should be
obtained from the member of staff in charge by a parent. In cases where there is a
clash between school commitments, pupils must inform both members of staff
involved at the earliest opportunity so that a solution can be found.
- 53 -
14. Pupils are required to seek the Headmaster’s permission before accepting any paid
employment in the evening or weekend. This is because of the detrimental effect that
such employment may have on pupils’ work or ability to complete homework
etc. Permission for jobs on weekday evenings will only be given as an
exception. Employment taken between Friday evening and Sunday evening should
not involve more than eight hours work.
15. Infringement of the school’s e-safety Policy or Acceptable Use Policy will constitute a
serious breach of school discipline. The school reserves the right in such cases to
refuse use of school IT equipment both in and outside formal lesson time. In some
instances breaches of this policy may also result in a range of other sanctions,
including permanent exclusion.
16. The Headmaster may exclude any pupil from school or may require the permanent
removal of any pupil for a serious breach of School Rules, or for exercising harmful
influence in any way, or for consistently or repeatedly failing to respond with
adequate effort and application to the teaching provided at the school, including
where this failure is to the detriment of other members of the school, or for the
accumulation of several Headmaster’s Detentions, or for any other good or necessary
reason.
The School Environment
17. Pupils share responsibility for the care, tidiness and good decorative order of all
school buildings. No litter may be dropped on the floor. Pupils should treat all
property and furniture with care and respect.
18. Pupils should not be on the school site until 07:50. In the Senior School, pupils are
permitted to wait in the main school quad until 08:30. The Middle School Common
Room is open at 08:00 and House spaces are open to pupils from 08:15. Classrooms
and school buildings are available to pupils from 08:30. Pupils are expected to wait
quietly outside classrooms before lessons begin, unless otherwise instructed. At the
end of the school day pupils are expected to be off site by 16:10 unless they are
involved in a school activity or have signed into the Homework Club. Homework
Club is supervised in the main school library from 16:00 -18:00. The Fitness suite in
the Sports Hall is only available for pupils when supervised by a member of staff.
Pupils are expected to leave the school site promptly following their after school
activity.
19. Pupils may not eat in classrooms and food must not be stored in lockers
overnight. Food should only be consumed in the Dining Hall, Middle School
Common Room or Sixth Form Centre. The House spaces may be used at lunchtimes
as communicated by the Head of House.
20. Chewing gum is not allowed in school.
- 54 -
21. Ball games must be confined to the designated area in the Quadrangles and only soft
balls, incapable of causing damage are permitted.
Health and Safety
22. For safety reasons the following areas are out of bounds to pupils unless specific
permission has been granted
The David Russell Theatre and the Gatehouse
Language and Science laboratories and the Technology Department
Sports Hall and Gymnasium
The staff car park
Any area where building or maintenance work is taking place
23. Pupils should always walk and not run inside the school buildings. Pupils should
walk on the right on all staircases. Pupils should not carry bags between lessons.
Due care must be shown when carrying kit bags
24. Pupils must observe all instructions given by staff concerning safety procedures in
lessons or in connection with any organised activity. This includes the wearing of lab
coats and other protective clothing
25. In the event of a Fire Alarm, Fire Drill procedures must be strictly observed. Pupils
are expected to line up in silence
26. Pupils cycling, walking or driving to school are expected to conform to the Highway
Code
27. Cyclists are expected to be visible to other road users and wear helmets. Cycles must
not be ridden within the school grounds and must be securely padlocked in the
bicycle sheds
28. Pupils wishing to drive to school must complete the appropriate registration form
which must be signed both by parents and by the Head of Sixth Form. Any pupil
wishing to travel in a car driven by another pupil, must obtain parental permission. All
drivers must meet with the school’s expectations on driving and parking responsibly.
More information is available in the Sixth Form handbook
29. Pupils travelling on public transport must conform to safety procedures issued by
those providing the transport. They must maintain the high standards of behaviour,
consideration and respect at all times
30. Pupils injured in any way or who become ill whilst at school are to report firstly to a
member of staff in charge of their class or activity and then to the Medical Centre
- 55 -
Property
31. Pupils are responsible for their own property and for items issued by the school: the
school can accept no liability for accidental damage, theft or accidental loss. All
pupils are expected to respect the property of others. It is strongly advised tht only
items that are required at school are brought in. Valuable items must be locked up
and all items must be named
32. Mobile telephones must be switched off and not used in any way during lessons or
any other school based activities unless with the permission of the member of staff.
Pupils in Years 7 & 8 are expected to hand in their phones by 08:40. Pupils are
allowed to use mobile telephones during break and at lunch time but not in the dining
hall, changing rooms, the library, or, in accordance with staff instructions
33. In no circumstances should money or other valuable items be left in sports changing
rooms: all such items should be locked in a Games locker at the beginning of the
lesson, fixture or practice for safe keeping. Pupils are advised to use a lock on their
bag to help ensure belongings
34. Bags must not be carried around the school. They should be stored in the pupils’
locker. Pupils may carry a laptop, or tablet computer in a slim line protective bag
containing only the laptop
Academic Honesty
35. Pupils are only expected to submit their own work for marking and assessment unless
they are otherwise directed by their teacher. Collusion (either by allowing work or
ideas to be copied or by copying someone else’s ideas or work) and plagiarism (the
submission of written or spoken work which fails to credit someone else’s work) may
result in a sanction. Collusion or plagiarism in work potentially submissible to an
examination board is a very serious matter, and hence our interest in developing a
culture of academic honesty in pupils’ work throughout the school. Using a limited
amount of other people’s published research is permissible as long as it is
appropriately referenced. Advice is available from the library and in pupil planners.

Pupil Charter: Using Digital Devices and Social Networks
PGS believes that digital devices should be supportive to learning and teaching. PGS also
believes that social networking should be fun, safe and used responsibly. The following
guidelines were produced by pupils for pupils.
Protecting yourself, your device and your online reputation
Don’t become a digital addict. Try to balance real life with time spent online and using
your digital device.
A digital device is another way of completing work and learning in class. It is not the
only way.
A good tip is to switch off the device or remove it, when you do not need it. This way
you can fully concentrate on the task you are doing.
Always lock your personal device when you are not using it. This includes locking the
device itself using a secure and private password, as well as storing your device in the
school lockers provided.
Ensure you fully charge your device each evening in preparation for the next school
day.
Middle School pupils should always hand their mobile phones into the Middle School
Common Room at the start of school day. Phones can be collected at the end of the
school day or at the discretion of the Head and Deputy Head of the Middle School.
Think before you update a status, post comments or tweet – your online profile and
reputation is your responsibility and may be used by future employers, schools and
universities. Once something is online, it may be there forever.
Keep personal information private (e.g. your passwords, mobile number, location)
Keep an eye on your ‘friends’ list and twitter contacts. Consider carefully the people
you follow or add as friends and don’t be afraid to edit these lists
Never arrange to meet up in person with someone you meet online.
Use privacy settings so that only your friends can see your profile and pictures. It is
also important to regularly review the settings on your accounts so that these remain
private.
If you experience cyber-bullying or if someone you do not know is trying to contact
you, speak to an adult, a teacher, your tutor or one of the peer mentors in the first
instance – they will help you.
Be confident in requesting that comments or images which cause you distress are
edited or removed.
Protecting others – be aware of your actions
Respect everyone in the school and do not interfere with their equipment.
Treat others as you would like to be treated. Anything that can be seen as offensive or
cyberbullying, will be treated very seriously by the school.
If in doubt, talk to someone

LOST PROPERTY
Any item handed to the Marshal’s staff is kept at the Marshal’s Office until the end of
the day when the item is moved to the Lost Property Office situated behind Cambridge
House. At the end of the school day the Caretaker collects any items left in the
playground area and takes them to Lost Property.
Lost property is recorded, sorted and stored alphabetically if named. Unnamed items
are kept separately. A green lost property slip is sent to the relevant Tutor to notify the
owner of all named items. In addition, an email is sent directly to the pupil. A weekly
report is also sent out to all staff identifying the uncollected items. Mr Patrick Brooke
opens the Lost Property Office daily for morning break at (10:30-10:45) and at lunchtime
(13:00-13:45). Outside these times requests for lost property are dealt with by reporting
to the Marshal’s Office where one of his staff opens the Lost Property Office to retrieve
items.
Every six weeks, property which is not collected is highlighted and owners, where
known, are sent a pink slip and an email to remind them to collect their item(s). Each
half term, if items are not retrieved they are recycled for use by other pupils or donated
to charity. Expensive items such as blazers or valuable items are kept for one year. It is
expected that all items are clearly labelled to assist in their return.
School Uniform Shop
The school uniform shop is located within E Block. The opening hours are:
14:30-17:30 Daily plus 08:00-09:00 Wednesday
