About

I am delighted to welcome you to Altrincham Preparatory School. It is a privilege to be the Headmaster of such a wonderful and vibrant school. If you are relocating to Altrincham, Hale or Bowdon and the surrounding areas, you have made an excellent choice.

Altrincham lies just 8 miles from Manchester City Centre and a stone's throw away from rolling countryside and benefits from excellent transport links by car, rail or plane. It is a bustling market town boasting an array of shops and eateries..

At APS we pride ourselves on our excellent academic outcomes and whilst our results speak for themselves, we also aim to provide an educational experience that is unparalleled in terms of its breadth, depth and quality, with opportunities to excel both inside and outside of the classroom along with focused pastoral care to ensure our boys flourish at school.

We have high aspirations for all our boys who are encouraged to take risks and not be fearful of making mistakes on their way to success. We aim to provide a dynamic, exciting and modern education for our pupils, stimulating their curiosities and nurturing their enthusiasm in a progressive, inspiring learning environment.

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