Sir John Nelthorpe died in 1669 and left money to found a Grammar School in Brigg. |
WELCOME TO OUR SITE |
Brigg High School for Girls was founded in 1919. Its "new" buildings erected in 1937 now form SJN's Lower School. |
In 1976 the Grammar School was merged with the Girls' High School to form The Sir John Nelthorpe School - SJN. |
