We are fortunate to have a highly qualified and dedicated staff committed to ensuring your child receives the best education possible. Investment in modern teaching facilities which supports the high quality of teaching and learning is a high priority for the school. We are thrilled to now have a new food technology facility which, we know will start preparing our students for independent living. The recent addition of our ‘water wall’ for refilling water bottles and keeping our SGS family hydrated is another step towards a more environmentally sustainable future. Our Sports facilities are second to none, boasting a large multi-use playing field, newly resurfaced astroturf pitch, sports hall, a newly resurfaced MUGA pitch including 3 x tennis courts and 3 netball courts, indoor cricket nets, 2 further new netball courts a sports pavilion and climbing wall. Our pastoral support team is very strong establishing a highly effective partnership between home and school.

Our traditional grammar school curriculum is enhanced by a wide range of extra-curricular and enrichment programmes and enables our students to apply for the top courses at the top universities. We are proud of our school and its long record of past achievements but our focus is firmly on our current students, the challenges facing them and our responsibility to equip them to meet the demands of a rapidly changing world.
