Pulteney Grammar School is an Anglican private school located on South Terrace, Adelaide in South Australia. It was founded as a boys' school on Monday, 29 May 1848, and is one of the oldest schools in South Australia. Pulteney became fully coeducational from the beginning of 1999 (having enrolled girls at Reception to Year 2 from 1998).
Pulteney is comprised of four sub-schools located on the same campus. The Kurrajong (and the ELC) for students up to year 2, Prep School for years 3-6, Middle School for years 7-9 and "one ninety" (Senior School) for the final years 10-12. Pulteney separated into sub-schools in 2001, and was followed by many other Anglican Private schools across Australia, becoming a leader in this field. As of 2006, the school has more than 800 students and more than 200 staff. The school has demolished the current Gymnasium, and are erecting a new, expanded gym; expanding the Preparatory yard-space. Also, a passive recreation area for senior students has been recently completed at the rear of Allan Wheaton House. Future plans are for the refurbishment of Wyatt Hall and the conversion of the Schrader Library annex (western side) into computer laboratories.
