A Hulme education
The education we offer here is deliberately broad and balanced because we believe that balance and breadth will best set students up to be successful in their future studies, the workplace and life generally. We’re unapologetically academic but committed to delivering so much more than good exam results, as important as they are.
Hulme Grammar is not your typical independent school and certainly not the sort of school critics of the sector - many of whom have never darkened the doors of an independent school - have in mind when they talk about one.
Our students
Students recognise that they are fortunate enough to have access to a Hulme education but this is no bastion of privilege. Many of our parents are making daily sacrifices to send their children to us because they want the very best quality education for them. We take the responsibility that comes with providing their children’s education very seriously.
The students here are grounded, well-rounded, socially minded, determined to make the most of the opportunities here and ambitious to make the world a better place. They are also huge fun! It’s our role to prepare them for life beyond school, ready to take the big wide world by storm when they leave us. A career in education is by no means a walk in the park.
At Hulme, staff are ambitious for the pupils to be successful and work hard to help them fulfil their full potential. That’s sometimes tiring but is also hugely rewarding and there are a number of benefits to working here.
t a f f
Benefits to working at Hulme include free staff lunches and refreshments throughout the day; free use of the swimming pool for staff, and opportunities for staff to get together socially, for example at end-of-term special lunches. We take teaching and learning seriously and have a staff group that meets regularly to share ideas and explore the latest ideas arising from education research.
And because we recognise that life is sometimes tough and because we are committed to promoting the good mental health and well-being of our employees, we operate policies and procedures that ensure this as well as free access to counselling services.
