It is the people of Bury Grammar School - our sparky and engaged pupils, our talented and committed staff, our supportive and friendly parents - who make BGS the outstanding place it is. Not only is our School academically outstanding - which for us is a given as a high-performing grammar school - but we also pride ourselves on being second to none in our forward-thinking and modern approach to pastoral care and life. 

This is an ambitious school with an uplifting, positive and life-affirming ethos. We believe utterly in the transformative power of education, and we always have high aspirations for our young people.  

It is those high aspirations which have led to Bury Grammar School blossoming, as academic standards strengthen still further year on year, pastoral care skilfully adapts to the needs of 21st century children, our extra-curricular programme balloons and more and more pupils and teachers apply to join us. 

Our pupils routinely excel. While we are of course always delighted with stellar examination results which make the headlines, we are even more thrilled for individual pupils who make astonishing progress for them: this is what our inspirational teachers came into teaching for.
