The school, also referred to as SJN, was formed as a grammar school in 1669 by Sir John Nelthorpe, who was born in Brigg in 1614. He was unmarried and wanted his wealth from his estate across Lincolnshire to create a school in his name. The buildings were opened around 1680, and the Upper School Library dates from this time. New buildings were added in 1879, and the Nelthorpe family have retained strong links with the school.

The grammar school in the 1970s had around 350 boys. Brigg Girls' High School, on Wrawby Road, had around 250 girls, and became the lower school. These schools were administered until 1974 by the Lindsey Education Committee, based in Lincoln.

Comprehensive

The school became a co-educational comprehensive in 1976.

Building improvements have included a new canteen, refurbishment of the drama hall and science labs, redecoration of English classrooms and improved security. The school was one of two in Humberside LEA that had a boarding house; Bridlington School (a former grammar school) was the other. Since 1996 it has been administered by North Lincolnshire; the LEA's offices are also in Brigg.[ citation needed ]

Curriculum

The school shares the sixth form, known as the Brigg Sixth Form, with the town's other comprehensive school, The Vale Academy.

School expeditions were made to Malawi in 2012, and India in 2014. [1] The school took part in a Great War research project supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund. [2]

Inspections

In 2014 Ofsted rated the school Grade 2 "Good" for overall effectiveness, following a 2013 report of Grade 3 "Requires Improvement", and 2011, 2009 and 2006 of Grade 3 "Satisfactory". [3] [4]

Admissions

The school is for ages from 11 to 18. The Lower School is on Wrawby Road.

Partner schools

Since 1996, it has had a partnership with the Gymnasium Leoninum  [ de ] in Handrup, Lower Saxony (Niedersachsen) in Germany.[ citation needed ]
