MGS - weathervane
The weathervane takes the form of a master with a birch chasing a pupil, whom of course he never reaches as the vane swings in the wind.

MGS - inner entrance
The principal entrance to the original school building is on the north side of the main quadrangle. The addition of the school motto above the doors (sapere aude - 'dare to be wise') dates from the 2015 quincentenary celebrations, and it is flanked by names of individual and corporate benefactors.

MGS - swimming pool notice
The school was built with a 25-yard swimming pool, probably quite an innovation in its time, but archaic now. The notice has been there since I was a boy, if not longer.

MGS - corridor
Apart from the addition of lockers, the 'maths corridor' (as it still is) is just as I remember it from the 1970s. The terrazzo flooring is distinctive of its time (early 1930s) and found in many public buildings, pubs etc. of the period.
