Welcome to our external applicants.

For many years now, Urmston Grammar has been welcoming students from all over the Trafford, Greater Manchester and Cheshire area. Our results have helped Trafford to become the top LEA in the country when it comes to advanced level study and our facilities give you that sense of self value and worth that is reassuring from the very start.

After you have completed your GCSE's we will invite you in to school for a pre-September treat, a sort of induction session, sounds worrying, but it isn't.

  • You will be in the fitness suite, instructed in the use of the equipment so that from day one in September, you will be able to use it at any time you want; membership is free to UGS students.
  • Via our IT facilities, your email account and IT passwords will be set up so that you can email each other, us, and access your email via the web from anywhere in the world (via the home page of our site www.urmstongrammar.org.uk ).
  • Yes, we will provide a free lunch for you, just don't diet for a month before hand anticipating a 7 course banquet, we're promoting healthy eating; fit bodies and fit minds being our aim.
  • You will be given a guided tour of the school by some of our Sixth from so that you can actually see the school in sunshine rather than that dreary day in January when you last saw us. The Sixth Formers are there for you to ask questions of too; questions like what night is curry night at wetherspoons and how much work is involved in getting that first AS grade during the first term and a bit, as well as those questions you might not want to ask the staff!
  • Finally, we know that some of you may have reservations about coming here in September, bring your questions and any worries you may have, talk to us, and if you have a friend who is undecided and may also be interested in joining you here in September, bring them along. Just let us know who they are when you send your reply slip to the letter of invitation that is coming to you shortly after GCSE's finish.

We enjoy our School; our Science College, and we try to make the two year experience enriching, pleasurable and even fun at times. We are also fully aware of just how much staff support you will need to get the grades and to succeed during this period. That is our strength; we won't let you drift, we are all in this together.

We look forward to seeing you!
