Using the best of Heanor's past to make the best of Heanor's Future

Welcome to the Heanor Grammar School Action Group (HGSAG) website which tells you about the former Heanor Grammar School, why it represents a significant time in Heanor's past and is a unique opportunity to re-shape Heanor's future for the local community.

Heanor is in the midst of Derbyshire, and set amongst rolling countryside. A market town, founded on coal mines and textile factories; it has a newly refurbished market place surrounded by some fine old buildings. It also has a huge Grade II listed building, which was the Heanor Grammar School until 1976. HGSAG are working to ensure the future of the listed building; for the benefit of the local community..

Heanor is a town founded on hard work done by ordinary local people. The Former Grammar School represents that, and the same hard work done by ordinary local people is what will carry both Heanor, and the former Grammar School into the future.

Past, Present and Future

Heanor Grammar School Action Group was established in 2015, because we believed (and still do) that such a significant building becoming vacant right in the town centre presented a unique opportunity to do something new and vibrant in Heanor.

You can find our aims on the 'About' Page: About HGSAG | hgsaction

The site is now owned by Amber Valley Borough Council and they are restoring the listed building using Future High Streets Government Funding.

We are looking forward to the site being opened and used for leisure, business, and community activities and events.

Our vision is for 'The Grammar' to be a space where people come together and know that they are all part of a thriving town and community.
