About Stretford Grammar School
Stretford Grammar School is a vibrant, co-educational Foundation Grammar School where ambition and kindness go hand in hand. Our students are not only academically driven but also demonstrate exceptional care and respect for one another and the wider community. This ethos is consistently recognised in our Ofsted reports and by visitors, who often comment on the welcoming, purposeful, and respectful atmosphere that defines our school.
At the heart of our community are the values of courtesy, respect, and inclusion. We celebrate diversity and believe that every individual brings unique strengths and perspectives that enrich our school. Our most recent Ofsted Inspection (March 2024) described Stretford Grammar School as “an inspirational place to learn. Pupils flourish in this warm and welcoming learning environment”. We are proud of this, and we work tirelessly to ensure that every student feels valued and supported to achieve their very best.
We place great importance on providing a broad and balanced education, offering opportunities that develop life skills, leadership potential, and strong links with the wider community. Our aim is that every student experiences success - whether academically or through the many extra-curricular opportunities available and we are fortunate to have supportive parents and a committed Governing Body who share our belief that every child should have the chance to follow their dreams.
We welcome applications from candidates of all backgrounds and experiences. We are developing a new Staff Voice Forum focused on equity and inclusion, and we warmly invite colleagues who are interested in contributing to this important work. We’re looking for leaders who will bring fresh perspectives, challenge us thoughtfully, and enrich our culture as we continue to learn and grow as a school. If you share our vision of an inclusive, nurturing, and high‑achieving community, we would be delighted to hear from you.
If you feel you have the qualities to contribute to such a community, we hope the information on our website, encourages you to apply to what is, we believe, a truly special school with a dedicated team of staff and exceptional young people.
