Why Hulme

Principal’s Welcome

I am delighted to welcome you to the virtual halls and corridors of Hulme Grammar School, where excellence in education is to be found in a nurturing community environment. 

With a history dating back to 1611, Hulme Grammar School has through the centuries shaped young minds and hearts and set them on their future paths to success. Today, Hulme stands in the North West of England as a beacon of high academic standards and exceptional pastoral care, offering a vibrant, inclusive education that nurtures young people as individuals, empowering them to realise their potential.

As you explore our website, you’ll discover a plethora of information about the many and varied aspects that make up the broad and balanced education we offer to pupils from the ages of 2 to 18. Proudly a through-school with a flourishing Prep School, a thriving Senior School and an outstanding Sixth Form, this is a place where students of all ages thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. 

Our task – one we do not take lightly – is to support them in every possible way during their time here, so they excel in the here and now as well as in their futures beyond.  

At Hulme Grammar, we believe in the power of curiosity, critical thinking, and creativity. Our dedicated teachers are passionate about igniting the spark of curiosity within each student, encouraging them to question, explore, and develop a love for learning that extends far beyond the classroom and which they will carry with them forever.

Whether you’re a prospective student, a parent seeking the best education for your child, a former student reminiscing about your time here, a curious visitor or have stumbled across us by chance, I invite you through these pages to delve into the heart of Hulme Grammar School and discover some of the many brilliant stories of student achievement, the culture of excellence that characterises our curriculum, and the warmth and big-heartedness of the Hulme Grammar School community.
