Pudsey Grangefield School

Pudsey Grangefield School is a state secondary school in Leeds, West Yorkshire. It was built in 1911 with construction starting in mid-1909. For around 60 Years it was called Pudsey Grammar School, since then it has been Pudsey Grangefield School Maths and Computing College.

It serves around 1185 pupils from the surrounding area along with two other schools, Pudsey Crawshaw and Pudsey Preisthorpe.The school also runs the Pudsey Consortium sixth form with these two schools.

The School has its own TV program, Friday World, broadcasted every Friday breaktime at 10:40am. It has been shown every Friday since 1973. The school also has its own Radio Station, PGS-FM which is broadcasted most days around school, at Lunch-times. Starting in 2006 PGS-FM was broadcasted live on regional radio for 2 weeks around Leeds. This also took place in 2007.

The school's life-long logo has been the official coat of arms of Pudsey, bearing the slogan "Be Just and Fear Not". The logo can be seen built into the front of the original Grammar School Building as well as on the school uniform.

On the 1st of September 2008 the headteacher was given the keys to the new building and the teachers were allowd to prepare for the new school year, beginning on the 3rd. The original, Grade II Listed Grammar School building at the front of the old site will be sold off as flats, with the rest of the old site being demolished in order to allow construction of a vast open recreational area for the new building.

Currently, the longest serving teacher is Mr Les Barnes of the Media department and the original creator of Friday World and PGS-FM. He has been with the school for over 30 Years.

The school is run by headteacher Mr K Cornforth.
