THE SCHOOL
“From their first day our
daughters have honestly
loved every minute of
their school life at Stafford
Grammar.”
Stafford Grammar School’s history, although short,
is quite remarkable and unique. A group of parents
met in 1981 to discuss the possibility of starting a
new independent day school. In September 1982,
the school was officially opened by its first patron
the Right Honourable, the Earl of Shrewsbury. Dr
Garrood, the founding Headmaster, began his first
day with 17 pupils. Since then, the school has grown
to its present size of around 500 pupils including
Stafford Preparatory School which opened in 2007.
The original school building is a fine Victorian manor
house designed by Pugin and originally owned by the
Whitgreave family. Set in almost 50 acres of attractive
grounds there are facilities for all major team sports
including a fully equipped Sports and Music Centre
and floodlit tennis and netball courts.
The school has developed a formidable academic
reputation as a centre of excellence. On the sporting
front, Stafford Grammar School pupils achieve
enviable local, county, regional and national success.
The school’s achievements in music and drama
are equally impressive and continue to provide
numerous opportunities for local and international
community links.
