Calday Grange Grammar School

Located in West Kirby we provide a free grammar school education to over 1400 students, with approximately 210 boys in each of Years 7 to 11 and a mixed Sixth Form of over 400 students.Examination results at GCSE and Advanced Level are outstanding. Students make exceptional progress from Key Stage 2 to Key Stage 4 and then on to Advanced Level.Our academic curriculum is suited to our very able students. Currently students undertake GCSEs in the English Baccalaureate subjects with students undertaking GCSEs in the three separate Sciences (Biology, Physics and Chemistry).All students start off in Year 7 studying two languages from a selection of French, German, Spanish or Russian and in addition all students undertake a course of Mandarin Chinese and Chinese Culture.Access to the school in Year 7 is through an 11+ examination coordinated by the local authority.Whilst the school recognises that academic achievement is a priority, we strongly believe that our role is to develop people who can take their place in, and make a significant contribution to, society. The school offers a wide range of activities that seek to develop the potential that all our students possess. We base everything that we do on the principle of mutual respect.Any judgement regarding a school should be based on its end product. Students enter the school as children and leave us as adults who have the skills to make an impact upon the world. The best advert for the school is its students. The school endeavours to keep in touch with former students, members of staff and alumni and we would love to hear from you.We have an official alumni Facebook page that is regularly updated: www.facebook.com/CGGSAlumni We have an official school alumni group on LinkedIn for former students and members of staff to keep in touch.
