History

There is evidence that a grammar school attached to Bury Parish Church existed as early as 1570 but the school was certainly well-established by 1634 with Henry Dunster as its fourth recorded headmaster. Former headmaster, Rev'd Henry Bury, who was by then "''aged eighty nine yeares or thereabout''", wrote his will in that year. In it, he not only left the sum of twenty shillings to Dunster ("''that studious and painfull minister''") but also an endowment of £300 to the "''ffree school''" at Bury "''for and towards the yearlie mentayninge of a school maister there, for to teach their children.''" Rev'd Roger Kay had gained his BA in 1688, his MA in 1691 and had become a Fellow of

The building in which Kay's newly re-founded school educated the boys of Bury still stands today, known as the ''Blackburn Hall'', in the Wylde behind the Parish Church. (The hall is named after a former Rector of Bury, Ven.

The school outgrew its premises and, in 1903, the boys moved into the completed half of a new building on Tenterden Street, with playing fields across Bridge Road. The new buildings, of Accrington brick, were designed in a simple

style by William Venn Gough.(The playing fields were a bone of contention from the first. One writer noted in an early edition of "The Clavian" that ''the young folks of Bury refused to recognize our right to the ground.'' The boys were soon joined by the girls of the Bury Girls' High School, newly re-founded as Bury Grammar School for Girls. The two schools, whilst remaining separate entities, shared the same building until the erection of a more modern facility for the boys across Bridge Road in the 1960s. This new boys' school was built on the playing fields, so the Governors purchased of land at ''Buckley Wells'' for new playing fields. When a new courthouse was completed on Tenters Street, the Magistrates' Court and County Court vacated their former building on Tenterden Street. The Prep Department of the boys' school moved across the road from the 1960s building into the refurbished old courthouse. The school was a

Crest

The school's crest dates from c.1840. It depicts a swan holding a key in its beak, under which is the motto in la, sanctas clavis fores aperit ( en, The key opens sacred doors). Both are considered to have been created by Rev'd
Henry Crewe Boutflower Henry Crewe Boutflower (25 October 1796 – 4 June 1863) was an English Anglican minister and Hulsean essayist. Boutflower was the son of John Boutflower, surgeon, of Salford, and cousin of Samuel Peach Boutflower. He was educated at the Man ...

in the manuscripts known as the Très Riches Heures. Berry may have been an ancestor of Henry Bury, but was more likely chosen due to the similarity in their names, whilst the key is believed to be a play on the name of the re-founder, Roger Kay. In a letter to the editor in the first edition of the ''Bury Grammar School Magazine'' of September 1881, a correspondent asked: The following edition carried a reply: Thus began references to the swan of Bury as ''The Irwell Duck''.


Uniform

The school uniform comprises a navy blue blazer with a badge in the pupils' house colour, and a navy blue tie (striped in the house colour), with black/charcoal trousers, and black socks and shoes. With the arrival of warmer weather, the headmaster invariably "declares summer", enabling blazers and ties to be removed "within the precincts of the school". Boys in the sixth form are not required to wear school uniform, but must wear a smart

Three houses were created in 1905 by Rev'd W H Howlett to re-introduce some of the camaraderie of a boarding school into the academic and sporting life of what was, by this time, a day school. The three houses were:

Today, the school has a full spectrum of musical groups including a brass ensemble, senior and junior choirs, a concert band, an orchestra and a percussion group. The CCF has a corps of drums. Dramatic productions include both junior and senior plays, and musical productions; such performances are often produced in conjunction with the girls' school, and in recent years have included ''Guys and Dolls'', ''Les Miserables'', ''Little Shop of Horrors'' and ''Jesus Christ, Superstar''.
