Bourne Grammar School is a co-educational selective state secondary school in Bourne, Lincolnshire. It is situated on South Road (A15). The school badge, derived from the Bourne Town Council (formerly Bourne UDC) Coat of Arms, is a shield with broad bands surmounted by three idendical balls symmetrically placed, and it shares the town motto "Vigila et Ora", meaning "Watch and Pray" (The reference is Christ's injunction to His disciples in St. Matthew's Gospel ch 26, v 41).
The school opened in July 1921 as the Harrington and Trollope Secondary School, named after Robert Harrington and William Trollope, local philanthropists whose bequests are administered by Bourne United Charities. In 1947, following the Education Act 1944, this was changed to the current name.
The current headmaster is Jonathan Maddox, who suceeded Dr Miles.
