The Manchester Grammar School

Manchester Grammar School

The Manchester Grammar School is one of the nation’s truly great schools – academically, it stands among the very best in the country.

MGS was founded in 1515 and is one of the leading independent day schools in the north-west, housing a junior school, seniors school and sixth-form.

Pupils achieve outstanding academic results alongside tremendous success – nationally and internationally – in sport, music, drama and many other areas.

Lessons are taught by academic specialists with a passion for their subject, and almost all leavers go on to university – there is a strong tradition of boys progressing to Oxford, Cambridge and other Russell Group universities.
