In extending to you an invitation to visit North Cestrian Grammar School, I am confident you will be impressed by what you see. We offer all the advantages of a traditional grammar school education with the additional benefit of close personal attention within a small school. Well-developed links between school and home help ease the transition from primary school enabling children to settle rapidly into their new life here.

It is the human touch which matters in schools today. Given the right environment each pupil's prospects can be transformed; with growth in confidence and personal dignity comes success which surpasses personal expectation. This is why our School has a well-earned reputation for fulfilling the potential of our brightest pupils whilst nurturing the talents of those whose ability lies unrecognised or unchallenged.

The atmosphere at North Cestrian is a positive one, and this is discernible in all the varied activities which provide opportunities for every child. The recognition of success through the interest we show, and the positive reinforcement of our approval in all we say and do, is a vital aspect of our school life.

Our prospectus offers a brief glimpse into the life and spirit of the School but it is impossible to convey its true atmosphere in print. This can only be achieved through a personal visit and you are more than welcome to come and meet the pupils on any normal working day. They are our best advertisement and I believe they will show you exactly what we, as a school, could offer your son or daughter.
