Grammar schools in England and subsequently in British territories overseas have a long and colourful history as part of a highly rated education system. The existence of these schools can be dated as far back as the sixth century. However, the term ‘scolae grammaticales’ (Grammar schools) was only used since the 14th century. Originally these schools were attached to cathedrals and monasteries and taught Latin because this was seen as the language of the church.
However, in more recent days, Grammar schools are seen as selective academically-oriented secondary schools in England. They also now teach a wide variety of subjects.
