Urmston Grammar is an excellent school; we have a reputation as a forward thinking dynamic learning community and a leader in education. We received national recognition for our work as a Science and Language college and in September 2010 we became one of the first convertor academies. We are using our academy status to ensure that our students continue to receive a high quality education.
We celebrate the pursuit of excellence and encourage each individual to achieve their personal best. We provide students with an education that is built on a tradition of courtesy and mutual respect, hence our motto, ‘manners makyth man’. Teaching and facilities ensure that students receive an education that prepares them for successful, fulfilled lives in this demanding twenty-first century. Our school building has retained much of the original structure that works well to serve our needs, however newer areas incorporate elements of modern design. These fit together seamlessly to provide an excellent working environment. This reflects our philosophy on education, which is built on strong traditions but open to new ideas and approaches.
The success of our school is not just based on the aptitude of our students, but on the expertise of our staff to nurture each individual. Students are challenged and supported to maximise their achievement. They are expected to actively participate in school life and make a valuable and sustained contribution to their wider community. This is why we want every student to take PRIDE in who they are and what they do, PARTICIPATE and make the best of the opportunities available to them, and EMPATHISE with others to ensure that we develop a community built on tolerance and respect.Â
Educating children is a great responsibility and privilege. If you are a parent of a child already at the school, thank you for entrusting us with this role. If you are considering sending your child to Urmston Grammar there are many opportunities to come and see the school at work.
I know you will be impressed with all that we are able to offer our youngsters.
Urmston Grammar is a selective school and an independent academy. The Governors and Urmston Grammar’s SLT lead a highly successful 11-18 co-educational grammar school with an outstanding national and local reputation for academic excellence in a caring community.Â
The school attracts and retains exceptional staff who possess a wealth of experience, knowledge and expertise. As caring professionals, our commitment to the welfare and pastoral care of our students is aimed at allowing each of our students to flourish.
The school grounds are secure and self contained, with mature trees complementing buildings that reflect both the tradition associated with grammar school education and the vision for the future.
Our students enjoy working in a respectful and mutually supportive atmosphere where self discipline is fundamental to our enjoyment of learning. We offer them a safe and secure environment with access to the very latest facilities.
The quality of student performance means that our examination results have regularly enabled us to feature in the lists of most successful schools. Our position in the Times Top 500 Schools means that we are regularly in the top schools nationally.
We are proud that Trafford LA regularly appears at the top of the national league tables at GCSE level and at Advanced level.
Our students have an outstanding reputation in the community for their contributions to both caring in the community and for their extensive work supporting local, national and international charities.
We were identified as one of the government’s “High Performing Specialist Colleges”. Our historic Science College and Language College status led to our development as one of the first converter academies in the country, in September 2010.
The principal aim of our school is to develop the full potential of each student academically, artistically, emotionally, morally, physically and socially so that they are able to take their place in society as mature, discerning and caring adults.
The school seeks to provide extensive opportunities and enrichment for the achievement of individual excellence; to prepare students for living in a complex, technological world; to help students to adapt to the demands of Higher Education and work; to encourage students in the belief that self-discipline is the best form of discipline; to develop a student’s self-respect and concern for others in the community.
