All of our year groups are special, but our new Year 7s who joined our community this morning hold a unique distinction – they are the 475th cohort to join MGS. This academic year marks the school's 475th anniversary since the Royal Charter was issued in 1549, founding the school. You might notice that our branding on social media has been updated to reflect this significant anniversary year, and many exciting events to celebrate the milestone will take place throughout the academic year. We look forward to sharing these with you all throughout the year and hope that many of you will join us at one of our anniversary events. #OlimMeminisseJuvabit
