 Grantham Grammar School - Education - Information - Educational Resources - Encyclopedia - Music
Grantham Grammar School, also known as The King's School, is an English educational institution with an unbroken history on the same site from its endowment as one of the last acts of Bishop Richard Fox in 1528.
Fox was a local boy who rose due to his position as secretary to Henry, Duke of Richmond, while in exile in France prior to the famous events of the battle of Bosworth that led to Henry's capturing the throne as Henry VII.
A small school of perhaps a few dozen scholars at this period, it remained less than one hundred strong until the 20th century, and its reputation did not grow as other similar schools grew and outpaced it.

 The Dartmouth Review: Dartmouth's Worst Prof: Shelby Grantham
Shelby Grantham was "the worst prof for English 5." Other tales quickly followed: She was among the most subjective graders at Dartmouth, and she didn't accept any deviation from her liberal hard line.
Grantham proceeded to silence him by calling him "a white supremacist." After class, she sent an e-mail to all her students to clarify her comments—and called his views those of a white supremacist again.
Grantham heralded this book as a pivotal piece of literature that brought writing "back to the writer." The book's main point was that one shouldn't write unless one really loves the subject he or she writes.
