History
Pulteney Grammar School is an Anglican co-educational school teaching from Early Learning Centre to Year 12. Founded in 1847, teaching began in May 1848. Originally located in Pulteney Street and known as Pulteney Street School, it moved to the current location on South Terrace in 1921 and became Pulteney Grammar School. The school was co-educational until 1884 when it became an all boys school. It returned to co-education in 1999.
