Welcome


Stretford Grammar School is a co-educational foundation grammar school with a rich and diverse ethnic, cultural and social intake. The school has a real sense of community where individuals are encouraged to succeed within a supportive, disciplined environment. 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. We expect that when our students leave us they do so feeling valued and prepared to take their place in the wider community.

 

Stretford Grammar is an improving school where according to Ofsted (March 2010) 'Attainment remains high, and students consistently reach standards that overall are significantly above average by the end of Key Stage 4'. Indeed, in 2011 our students achieved 100% 5A*-C including English and Maths. In addition to this, 53% of all grades were awarded an 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 and 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' overall.

 

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 school, fostering lasting friendships and feeling valued by their teachers. That said, we are also an incredibly happy school where those old values of respect, politeness and courtesy are at the heart of the school.

 

In 2005 the school was granted Specialist Status in Science and Mathematics, an area of the school which has continued to flourish. As a result of our designation as a specialist school in Science and Maths 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 the sciences and many of our students continue to pursue the sciences 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 with the facilities to enable all our students to achieve the outstanding results of which we know they are capable.
