The Hulme Grammar School for Girls opened in 1895. It provides a rigorous academic education for seven to eighteen year olds and has a fine record of external examination successes. The school encourages girls to develop good habits of work and their own abilities within a broad curriculum, which includes technology, creative subjects and physical education as well as academic subjects. Our aim is to help each girl achieve her full potential, without being unduly competitive with her peers.
We give careful consideration to new educational ideas and we keep the curriculum and our teaching methods under regular review.
Every member of the school is regarded as having a valuable contribution to make to the general life of the school and the work of the School Council reflects this. We believe that young people like and need a framework of order and courtesy and our approach to discipline is accordingly firm but fair, with the emphasis on self-discipline and adherence to our code of conduct. We have a well developed system, which monitors girls' academic and social development.
Girls are encouraged, particularly in the senior part of the school, to work independently and to take responsibility not only for their own work but for general areas of school life as well.
Our concern is with the development of the whole person and to this end we also encourage girls to participate in the wide range of extra curricular activities which the school provides as well as a sense of their own worth.
