The Stockport Grammar School
GOLF DAY
We are very proud of the achievements of Stockport
Grammar School’s pupils. Girls and boys join us from local
maintained primary and independent preparatory schools.
As well as securing outstanding academic qualifications
through learning and working together, the rich extra
curricular life of the school encourages children to develop
their talents to the full. In these pages we have featured just
a few examples of the many ways in which our pupils have
taken the opportunity to excel.
Andrew Chicken,
Headmaster
We want to invest in our pupils and provide them with the
most up-to-date facilities whilst keeping our fee levels as
low as possible. However, we are not a wealthy school and
have no significant endowments, nor do we receive any
assistance from the state.
The Bursary Fund enables bright local children whose
families cannot afford the fees to benefit from the
education we offer. Because every child makes a unique and
special contribution to the health and vigour of our school,
each child benefits personally from the diverse backgrounds
and experiences of their friends. Opportunity should not be
restricted by means and so your support for the fund is
greatly appreciated by the School, and by those individual
children who benefit.
The Stockport Grammar School Bursary Fund
The profit we raise today goes directly to the Stockport Grammar School Bursary Fund. It is
our goal to offer as many local children as possible the opportunity to come to the school
regardless of their ability to pay. In the words of Emily Dove (OS 2010), one of the school’s
former bursary holders:
‘If the Bursary Scheme was not in place, I would simply not have had the opportunity to
attend SGS. I would have missed out on numerous experiences; a field trip to Anglesey, an
incredible Alpine mountaineering expedition, playing hockey for the senior team, captaining
the swimming team, playing the flute in school bands and taking part in so many other extra
curricular activities. The high quality teaching also enabled me to fulfil my potential and gain
a place at Birmingham Medical School.’

Opportunity and
Achievement
Oxbridge success
Twelve members of the Upper Sixth are
celebrating offers from Oxford and Cambridge.
Last year SGS was identified by the Sutton
Trust as one of ten schools nationally having
a significantly higher acceptance rate to
university than other institutions with similar
A Level results.
Oliver! wows sell-out
audiences
After playing to four full houses Oliver!
closed to rave reviews.
The production brought together nearly
200 pupils from across the school. Months
of preparation and dedication proved
worthwhile culminating in excellent,
professional performances.
A day in the life of a Viking
Junior School Year 4 pupils were transported
back to the Dark Ages and Tudor times on a visit
to Murton Park’s living history village. Dressed in
clothing from the period, the children took part
in pottery, fieldwork, housework and soldier
training essential to maintaining and defending a
Viking settlement. As Tudors they learnt to write
with traditional quill and ink, dipped candles and
created room fragrances.

Opportunity and
Achievement
A summer in Namibia
22 Sixth Form pupils experienced a summer
they will never forget when they flew to
Namibia to spend the whole of July exploring
the country and working to help a school in the
tiny village of Dordabis. During their time at the
school our pupils constructed a lintel around
the base of the school fence to stop animals
from getting into the playground and painted
cartoon characters on the outside of the
buildings for the children to enjoy.
Pupils’ art displayed at
The Lowry
Three of the school’s top artists have had
their artwork displayed at the Lowry in
Salford as part of Living Edge magazine’s
school arts competition.
Particular congratulations go to Jessica
Hadfield whose work came runner-up in
the senior category.
SGS host MUN Conference
200 pupils from 15 schools across the country
gathered at SGS for two days of political debate
at our Model United Nations conference.
The level of debate was high, and the pupils’
knowledge on their subject was boosted
thanks to guest speeches from local MP
Andrew Stunell OBE on international politics,
and Paul Smith from PricewaterhouseCoopers,
who spoke about the centrality of the internet
and its impact on international relations.

Sports stars represent England
Martha stood out at rigorous
trials, beating off stiff
competition to secure her
place on the team. James
was picked after impressing
the selectors during his
performances for the North at the Under-18s divisional festival
at Broadstreet. The call-ups are a reflection of the high
standard of sport being played across the school, with another
successful year for our teams.
First XV rugby captain James Flynn and first XI hockey
goalkeeper Martha Watson have trained tirelessly during
their time at SGS and this
year been honoured with the
opportunity to play for their
country in the Under-18s teams.
Chemistry Olympians
finish in UK top 7%
Our Chemistry Olympiad entrants
have achieved some outstanding
results in this year’s competition,
with Alastair Watts and Miranda
Cupit finishing among the top 7%
in the UK and others receiving
silver and bronze awards.
Junior photographers
amongst best in the country
Amongst six winners in our Junior School
photography competition, Katie Bielinska and
Leah Bird have gone a level further after
judges in the national AJIS competition also
recognised their talent. The girls received their
photos (one of which is pictured left) as prizes
for their achievement.
