About

We believe that Bury Grammar School offers an exceptional education. It is the people of Bury Grammar School - our sparky and engaged pupils, our talented and committed staff, our supportive and friendly parents - who make BGS the outstanding place it is.

Not only is our School academically outstanding - which for us is a given as a high-performing grammar school - but we also pride ourselves on being second to none in our forward-thinking and modern approach to pastoral care and life. This is an ambitious school with an uplifting, positive and life-affirming ethos.

We believe utterly in the transformative power of education, and we always have high aspirations for our young people.

It is those high aspirations which have led to Bury Grammar School blossoming, as academic standards strengthen still further year on year, pastoral care skilfully adapts to the needs of 21st century children, our extra-curricular programme balloons and more and more pupils and teachers apply to join us.

In the school’s own words, from the school website.

Governing body

iThe directors of the school's corporate trustee, from Companies House.The Charity Commission register lists the trustee as an organisation; it names no governors.

Run by Bury Grammar Schools Charity (registered charity 526622, trustee The Bury Grammar Schools Trustee Ltd). iThe link between this school and the charity: the register lists "Bury Grammar Schools" as a previous name of this charity (exact name); postcode district matches (school BL9 0HN, charity BL9 0HG).The Department for Education publishes no governance records for independent schools, so the governing body comes from the charity's trustee company or, for this school, the source named below.

3y time on the board, exact iBars are exact: Companies House gives each director's appointment date, and the leaving date for former directors. Current directors are counted to 20 October 2026.A director appointed before Companies House held electronic records may have no appointment date; those rows show the leaving date only and no bar.

The charity covers Bury Grammar School (boys) and Bury Grammar School Girls' School; the register address is the Bridge Road site, so the postcode differs from the DfE record.
