Wikidata WikipediaThe Crypt School is a grammar school with academy status for boys and girls located in the city of Gloucester. Founded in the 16th century, it was originally an all-boys school, but it made its sixth form co-educational in the 1980s, and moved to a mixed intake from year 7 in 2018, thereby becoming the only fully coeducational selective school in Gloucester. The school was founded in 1539 by Joan Cooke with money inherited from her husband John.

Old Crypt Schoolroom This building, the original Crypt School, was founded by John and Joan Cooke, and erected in 1539, as "A contynuall free scole of grammer." Restored and reopened in 1880 for St.Mary De Crypt Sunday School in memory of Robert Raikes, it is now used as the church hall. Crypt School removed in 1861 to buildings in Barton Street and in 1892 to Friars Orchard on the site of the Technical College in Brunswick Road and thence in 1944 to Podsmead.
