King Henry VIII Grammar School - Middle Period |
The School
Since 1542 this School has provided education facilities for pupils from the Abergavenny area. For several centuries King Henry VIII Grammar School was located in the old St. John's Church building, with often only a few dozen pupils. It moved in 1898 to a purpose built (mainly by public subscription) building in Penypound with up to one hundred and thirty pupils. |
||||||
| The school transferred in 1962
to new buildings in Old Hereford Road and shortly afterwards became a full
comprehensive, now known as King Henry VIII School.
There are currently some 1250 pupils in the school. Throughout its life the school motto has been - Ut Prosim - that we shall be of service |
King Henry VIII School - present lower/middle school |

The Old Boys' Association The Association was formed in 1925 to provide opportunities for reunions of pupils throughout their adult life. Many sports and social functions are arranged for all age groups. The Association also acts as a contact source for its members, enabling friends to keep in touch all over the United Kingdom and beyond. We also support and advise individuals who would like to arrange their own school year reunion. This year our President is Anthony A. Davies.
