Dover Grammar School for Boys is a selective secondary school located in Dover, United Kingdom. The school is situated next to Astor College for the Arts, which is a non-selective school. It has a strong sporting rivalry with Astor and Sir Roger Manwood's School, a selective Grammar school in nearby Sandwich, Kent.



Founded in 1904 as Dover County School, it was originally mixed-sex and occupied other premises at Ladywell and at what is now the Girls' Grammar at Frith Road, only later splitting into the Boys' and Girls' Grammars. It moved into the present 1930s building in 1931 (with influences from Dover Castle, which is visible from the school), only to be evacuated to Ebbw Vale during the Second World War. R J Unstead, a prolific author of history books for children, attended the school from 1926 to 1934.
