The Grange School

The Grange School is one of the great success stories of independent education, shaped by over forty years of sustained growth, ambition and achievement. Founded in 1933 as a Kindergarten and Preparatory School, the School took a bold and transformative step in 1977 with the introduction of secondary education. Since then, The Grange has grown steadily, developing an outstanding academic reputation alongside a strong and supportive school community.

Today, The Grange educates 1,172 students aged 3–18, with approximately 400 students in the Junior School and 775 in the Senior School, including a vibrant Sixth Form. The School is consistently amongst the highest performing independent schools in the North West and is widely regarded as one of the leading co-educational day schools in the country.

Academic standards are high, and outcomes place The Grange towards the top of national independent school league tables, with strong GCSE and A Level results and the majority of students progressing to their first-choice universities.

Just as importantly, The Grange is a very happy place to work and learn. Relationships between staff and students are warm, respectful and purposeful. Expectations are high, and the School is busy and dynamic, but it is also collegiate, supportive and professionally rewarding. Staff are encouraged to be ambitious, reflective and creative, within a culture that values collaboration and mutual respect.

Above all, our purpose is to help young people truly flourish. We believe in educating the whole person, supporting each student to discover and develop their individual strengths, talents and passions. Through challenge, encouragement and opportunity, we prepare our students not only for academic success, but for fulfilled and purposeful lives beyond school.
