Jedburgh Grammar School
High Street Jedburgh Borders TD8 6DQ
“Jedburgh Grammar School is situated in a town steeped in history. We know that the name Jedburgh, or rather one of its many earlier versions, Gedwearde, was mentioned by Ecred, bishop of Lindisfarne when he established settlements on the banks of Jed Water in 854. The abbey, whose ruins still dominate the south end of the town, was founded three centuries later in 1147 for the Augustinian Canons. That moment must also mark the beginning of institutional learning in Jedburgh for the canons were respected scholars of their time. To start with, however, they did not provide for the education of the lay youth of the town.”
