What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 20 March 2024
Stretford Grammar School is an inspirational place to learn. Pupils flourish in this warm and welcoming learning environment. It is a place where pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), feel happy and safe. Pupils live up to the extremely high expectations set by the school for their academic achievement and their behaviour. Pupils, and students in the sixth form, achieve highly across a broad range of subjects. They are very well prepared for the next stage in their education, employment or training. The school has a positive atmosphere, where pupils' praiseworthy behaviour supports their learning exceptionally well. Pupils show the utmost respect for each other and for staff. For example, the welcome that pupils give to visitors, including in their motivation to describe their learning, is striking. Pupils benefit from an extensive range of extra-curricular activities. For instance, many pupils, including those who are disadvantaged, take part in the Duke of Edinburgh's Award. Other pupils enjoy, for example, debating, robotics, jewellery making and knitting clubs. Pupils make a significant contribution to school life through acting as prefects, ambassadors, and school parliamentarians.
