About Us
I am delighted to welcome you and your son to Altrincham Grammar School for Boys. I hope that your son will be very happy throughout the seven years that he is likely to be a pupil with us. During those years he will change considerably. I do hope he will retain the enthusiasm and love of learning that he possesses at present, whilst developing an analytical mind and depth of knowledge commensurate with the highest academic standards. I hope he will remain open to new ideas and tolerant of different attitudes, whilst developing a secure set of personal values and qualities which will mark him out as a pleasant and determined person. At this School he will be offered a wide range of opportunities both curricular and extra-curricular. I would like him to take on as many of those opportunities as he possibly can. Above all, I want him to develop a pride in being a member of our community and ensure that everything he does enables us to take
a pride in him.
