Altrincham's Independent Grammar School

North Cestrian Grammar School is an independent day school for boys and girls

aged eleven to sixteen years with a co-educational Sixth Form. It is administered by a non-profit making Educational Charity, the Trustees all being members of the Board of Governors. The School is a non-denominational establishment which encourages active participation in communal worship.

North Cestrian aims to provide a grammar school education through a modern curriculum and within a safe and structured environment. Pupils are prepared for GCSE and 'A' Level examinations and for entry to University and the School has a proven record of academic success. The size of the School and the small classes help each child to know, understand and respect those around, whilst the excellent pupil/teacher ratio enables staff to treat pupils as individuals. Careful monitoring of progress helps develop talent so that we get the very best out of each child. A wide variety of sporting and social activities helps to provide a fulfilling school life, boosting individual self-confidence by proving that everyone can excel in some area, given opportunity and encouragement.

Responsibility, initiative, self-respect, leadership and concern for others; these are just some of the characteristics we believe can be fostered by focusing on the triangular partnership of parents, pupils and teachers. Thus, during seven fruitful years at North Cestrian, we aim to see each child grow into a young adult who is happy in daily life, confident in relationships with others and self-motivated about work.
