Our Junior School is made up of Years 3, 4, 5 and 6 and housed in bespoke buildings known as Bexwyke Lodge and Plessyngton Lodge.

Our curriculum is exciting; innovative; stimulating; cutting-edge; different and blends our traditional 'grammar school' education with unusual challenges designed to stretch even the most able young man.

We teach the basics thoroughly along with a wide range of skill based activities to seek to broaden the mind and develop natural inquisitiveness. Enthusiastic and knowledgeable staff from the Junior School provide the majority of the teaching with additional classroom input from Senior School subject specialists in areas such as English, Maths, Art and Modern Foreign and Classical Languages.

The boys have a fantastic opportunity to widen their knowledge and develop new skills during our timetabled Wednesday afternoon 'Options Programme', including, for example, Photography, Robotics, Roman Civilisation, Philosophy and Psychology; and also through the varied co-curricular (lunchtimes and after school) activities such as Basketball, Judo, Warhammer, Rugby, Cookery and Gardening. Teamwork, social skills and confidence all develop quickly through involvement with these activities.

Our first few years as the new Junior School of MGS passed in a blur of activity and excitement! Staff and pupils together have quickly established an ethos of hard work, mutual respect and a joy in discovering and learning together.
