Updates Required

There are a number of factual errors on the current page.

The Chairman of Governors is now Mr Walther Cha.

History The Head is no longer James Priory; the sentence reading "The current Headmaster is Mr James Priory." Needs to be changed to "The current Head is Dr Anne Cotton."

Academic Performance This information is very out of date. Information should be: In 2018 the results of public examinations were: International Baccalaureate - an average of 38 points per pupil A Level - 54% of the grades awarded were A*-A and 79% A*-B GCSE - 40% of the grades achieved were A*/8-9; 67% A*-A/7-9; 88% A*-B/5-9 with 99% gaining A*-C/4-9.

Discipline This whole section is very misleading and again refers to a very old inspection report. There has since been a 2016 ISI inspection, the report can be found here: https://www.pgs.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Portsmouth-Grammar-SS-Final-240216.pdf

Drama Again, very out of date information "Sixth Form Shakespeare" - this no longer takes place, instead there is a Sixth Form Production each summer term. Musical - The last show was "Into The Woods", not "Thoroughly Modern Millie" House Drama Competition - this is not just a well-known British Sitcom and also includes Farces.

Music The section on Music is very out of date. There is no longer a single associate composer. There have been more recent performances and achievements to those listed as being in 2005 and 2006. For example the Chamber Choir recently worked with Jonathan Dove on the world premiere of his cantata 'For an Unknown Soldier'. — Preceding unsigned comment added by EML 100 (talk • contribs) 15:00, 26 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Waggers: This user has a conflict of interest regarding this topic and has therefore been asked not to make changes to the article themselves and instead make suggestions here on the talk page. -- Ed (Edgar181) 15:20, 27 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
