Welcome
Stretford Grammar School is a co-educational foundation grammar school with a rich and diverse ethnic, cultural and social intake. Individuals are encouraged to succeed within a supportive, disciplined environment and where students make an ‘outstanding contribution to a highly aspirational learning and harmonious school community’ (Ofsted 2012). The school seeks to nurture and challenge all students to achieve their potential within a caring ethos where relationships between staff and students are strong and built on mutual respect.
Our recent Ofsted report found the school to be a 'good and rapidly improving school' as a result of ‘exceptional leadership in promoting improvement, high aspirations and ambition of staff and students’. Indeed, in 2011 our students achieved 100% 5A*-C, including English and Maths. In addition, 53% of all grades were awarded A*/A and 61% of all students achieved at least 5 grades at A*/A. This is a wonderful achievement for the school and reflects the hard work and dedication of both our students and staff as well as the incredible support we receive from our parental body. We are proud of these achievements and also those of our Sixth Form which is regularly placed within the top 10% of sixth forms nationally. As a result of these achievements, Ofsted recently judged the sixth form to be good, with attainment and standards high.
During their time at Stretford Grammar School, students are able to access a broad range of curricular and extra-curricular opportunities which seek to develop their learning opportunities. We are a small school and as a result students quickly settle into our community, fostering lasting friendships and feeling valued by their teachers. Consequently, relationships are excellent and traditional values of respect, politeness and courtesy remain at the heart of the school.
Stretford Grammar School has Specialist Status in Science and Mathematics, an area of the school which has continued to flourish. As a result of our designation, significant refurbishment has been undertaken of the Science teaching rooms and an additional Science block has been built. Through our specialism we have sought to develop a real passion for Maths and Science and many of our students continue to pursue these subjects to A Level and beyond.
The learning environment is also important to us and over the last year we have invested significantly in the infra-structure of the school. The school has an extensive wireless network and most rooms are equipped with an audio system, projector and interactive whiteboards. In the longer term we are seeking to refurbish the school library. A very active PTA has agreed to undertake this very important task and we seek to continue the extensive refurbishment we have undertaken to date. Our aim is to provide a first class environment complete with the facilities to enable all of our students to continue achieving outstanding results.
