Wolverhampton Grammar School is proud to announce the expansion of its Junior School to incorporate Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 from September 2021. This wonderful news means that Wolverhampton Grammar School will now become a true all-through school, providing the opportunity for children of all school ages (4-18) to join a truly unique community and experience our award-winning approach to education.

The City’s leading Independent School recently received full approval from the Department for Education to increase the age range of the school, following a rigorous review of suitability by the Independent Schools Inspectorate. The new provision will benefit from remodelled classrooms featuring an inside-outside learning space as well as a purpose-built, beautifully landscaped Infant Playground within the School’s existing 25acre campus.

Dan Peters, Head of Wolverhampton Grammar Junior School commented

“We are so excited that children will now be able to join us at the very start of their educational journey. Opening our doors to children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 from September means that we can ensure our pupils make the very best progress from the word go.” James Sage, Chairman of the Board of Directors for Wolverhampton Grammar School added

“We are delighted to have been given the approval by the Department for Education to expand our education provision to children aged 4-18. High-quality teaching, devoted staff, small class sizes and our caring ethos in the Junior School allow our young children the opportunity to thrive and reach their full potential.”

Wolverhampton Grammar School provides an outstanding education for children attending the Junior School, Senior School and Sixth Form. Constantly achieving outstanding GCSE and A Level results, providing the largest range of extra-curricular activities of any independent school in the area, and continuing to be the independent school of choice for parents of children from across the Wolverhampton, Shropshire, Staffordshire and wider West Midlands.

Our Education

At Bromsgrove, we believe pupils are happiest when they are succeeding. We offer an all-round education, combining academic excellence with a richness of opportunity. Pupils engage enthusiastically with knowledge, embrace new ideas and are intellectually stimulated. We pride ourselves on the outstanding opportunities available, both inside and outside the classroom, whether at Nursery, Pre-Prep, Preparatory or Senior School.

Bromsgrove pupils achieve first division academic performance not only in GCSEs, but also A levels, the International Baccalaureate and BTECs in Sport and Business. We teach and learn with passion and flair, but insist upon academic rigour. However, we recognise that there is little point in getting top grades if you are unable to engage with other people. So, each and every day at Bromsgrove there is time dedicated for developing other vital life and social skills. The breadth and success of our extra curricula offer is astonishing. Our sport has ranked us in the top six of all UK independent schools for the last seven years, not in one particular sport but across 26 sports. And in addition to the 280 sports teams we put out and all the musical ensembles, choirs and orchestras, our pupils have 110 other activities to choose from each week.

There are easier schools to choose than Bromsgrove. We are proud of our 500 year old school. It is traditional, disciplined and very down to earth but it really is a dynamic and exciting place to be. Our mission is for Bromsgrovians to leave us as happy, creative, moral citizens who live motivated, fulfilled lives whilst enriching the lives of others and should you wish to visit to meet our young people and see what we do, you would be most welcome.
