     Prince Henry's Grammar School (Specialist Language College), also known as Prince Henry's, is a
secondary school established in 1607 in the historic market town of Otley , West Yorkshire , England.
The school teaches boys and girls between the ages of 11 and 18 and has around 1,700 pupils and 84
teachers and retains(保持) a high position within regional league tables. Leading departments include
Art, English, History and Science. Despite the name, Prince Henry's is now a state comprehensive school
rather than a grammar school .
     Prince Henry's was founded under Royal Charter (宪章) from King James I in 1607 and is named
after his son Henry Frederick Stuart, Prince of Wales . As the Charter stipulates (规定) the name of the

     The school's main building is an Edwardian school house complete with clock tower. The school
facilities include a new science block added in May 2008. Prince Henry's also has sporting facilities that
include a swimming pool, tennis courts and the meadow playing fields, all of which uphold PHGS's
tradition within the area for developing young talent through curricular and extra curricular activities. The
school has also recently completed the integration of a sixth form rugby academy in 2007.
     On 10 July 2008 HRH Duke of Kent visited the school to officially open the new science building.
As well as unveiling (揭幕) a plaque to commemorate the opening, His Royal Highness spoke to students
in Prince Henry's science, physical education and modern languages lessons. The building has been
named after Walter Hargreaves Hindle, a former Otley resident who bequeathed a large sum of money to
the school for the advancement of the study of science.
