**Joining The Manchester Grammar School**

This role provides an opportunity for someone to work in one of the country’s leading
independent day schools.

The Manchester Grammar School is one of the oldest, largest and most successful boys’ schools
in the country, with a vibrant and diverse community of some 1650 pupils and 300 staff.

**Why work at MGS?**

All members of staff at MGS work together to serve the interests of our pupils. The School does
its best to provide a good working environment for its entire staff and we are all responsible for
creating a happy and purposeful working atmosphere.

Our network of around 100 non-teaching staff ranges from administrators, librarians, cleaners,
grounds team, nurses, secretaries, caterers, technicians, etc. The roles of our non-teaching staff
are vital in ensuring the smooth day to day running of our School and each individual enjoys
working as part of a small team which work well together and take part in a number of joint
activities for the benefit of pupils. For example, in recent years several members of the non
- teaching staff have joined teachers in school camps and visits with the pupils. We aim to
encourage professional development for all staff, by providing training in the school or sending
people on courses elsewhere. A number of staff have obtained promotions recently.

**Where did MGS come from?**

The School was founded in 1515, by Hugh Oldham, Bishop of Exeter, to prepare able boys from

the Manchester area, regardless of their background, to go to Oxford or Cambridge. We take our

motto Sapere Aude (Dare to be Wise) as meaning that we must challenge our pupils, and expect

to be challenged by them. The owl is the symbol of the School - not because of its association with

wisdom, but because those who sought to make a heraldic crest for Bishop Hugh Oldham made a

pun on the old Lancashire pronunciation of “Owldom”. For most of our life we were situated in

the centre of Manchester, in Long Millgate, the site now occupied by Chetham’s School of Music.

In 1931 we moved out to a new, purpose-built 28 acre site in the Fallowfield area of the city,

adjacent to the halls of residence of The University of Manchester.

**Where are we going?**

The Foundation Bursary Appeal has been the most successful appeal of its kind held by any

school. Its aim is to ensure that a place at MGS is available to any boy who passes our entrance

examination, regardless of his race, colour and creed, and regardless of his social or economic

standing. As a result of the Appeal and other measures, MGS is now independent of government

funding for free places. Our aim is to be a pure meritocracy and our results are among the best in

the country.

**Where do our pupils come from?**

Boys come from a vast area, which can stretch from Sheffield to Blackpool. We are the largest

independent day school in the UK, with around 1650 pupils in the School. Recruitment remains

very healthy despite intense competition locally, and the 200+ boys who join the School each year

come in equal numbers from maintained and independent primary schools
