Welcome to The Manchester Grammar School's new website, a concept designed with the help of our parents, pupils, staff and those in our wider community, to be a valuable resource to anyone wishing to discover more about our school.

As MGS moves towards the expansion of its 'paper free' communications strategy, our website will continue to develop specifically to meet the needs of our community.

Since the School's foundation during the reign of Henry VIII in 1515, MGS has sought to challenge the North West's most inquiring young minds and from September 2011 we will open our doors to welcome boys from age 7 as our Junior Section expands to include Years 3 and 4. Enter here to read more.

We employ some of the top academic staff in the country and around 160 highly qualified teachers and specialists ensure our academic programme and 128 co-curricular clubs and activities offer a stimulating environment and the best all-round education for our pupils.

Our students' results are amongst the very best in the country, and we have an international reputation for academic excellence. The majority of our students gain access to the most competitive courses of first choice, at the very best universities in the world, and in the top 15 UK universities, including Oxford, Cambridge, UCL, LSE and London Imperial.

 

When sports, travel, camps, charities, community action, clubs and societies sit as equals with academic and pastoral life, all flourish, each enhanced by the other, each pieces of a jigsaw rather than rivals for time.

They allow our boys the choices to experience a wealth of diversity to develop their individual talents and personalities.

All of our boys are celebrated for their individuality; the incredible variety of what MGS has to offer ensures that their characters shine through and our pupils have the freedom to express themselves no matter what their choice of activity.

When the shackles of SATs and entrance examinations are removed from our clever nine and ten year olds in the Junior Section and innovative teachers given professional freedom, the magic truly blossoms.

The common factor of our boys is their intelligence, but beyond that they represent the broadest range of economic and ethnic background, religious belief, learning styles and special needs.

Dare to think beyond the obvious and join in the MGS adventure.


Come along to our Junior Section Open Event to see what's on offer to our younger pupils on Thursday 27 May.

 
MGS pupils come from a wide geographical area and our stories feature in a variety of local papers and magazines. Read some of our recent articles below to catch up on our news.
