Parents’ comments

A selection of the comments show just how satisfied parents are with their experience of Stockport Grammar Junior School:

Teaching and learning has been incredible for my eldest who has made significant progress. Your teachers are very committed to getting the best out of each individual.

My child really enjoys the varied curriculum and the choice of clubs. I feel informed about what’s happening. I know where to look for school information on the website/portal. Staff are very approachable.

The school demonstrates a strong commitment to pastoral care, nurturing the well-being of each student through personalised support systems and a caring, inclusive environment.

It is a great school and I’m pleased we made the decision for our child to attend.

Thank you for looking after our son and ensuring he is happy in his learning environment.
