However, what I would say, is that I believe Stretford Grammar School is a special community. I felt it when I first walked through the doors of the school and that belief still resonates with me today.
I know the sacrifices that some parents and carers have made to support their child in getting a place at Stretford Grammar School and as such, I believe there is therefore a weight of responsibility placed upon our community to ensure that each and every one of our children has a chance to shine.
