HEADTEACHER'S WELCOMESimon Ascroft

Welcome to Wirral Grammar School for Boys where our combination of core values, educational excellence and caring, committed staff provides an enriching environment in which to learn.
Wirral Grammar School for Boys has offered a distinct education on the Cross Lane site since 1931. We welcome boys from across the Wirral and beyond. We get to know all our students and ensure that they are encouraged and challenged to realise their potential; our vibrant student community is the true heart and soul of the school.
At Wirral Grammar School for Boys our aim is for students to discover something new through their learning every day; we create a learning environment in which our students thrive, and most important of all, a place where they feel that they belong.
We believe that school should provide an energising and transformational experience. We set very high standards and encourage all students to have high aspirations.
We are committed in ensuring that Wirral Grammar School for Boys remains community-centred and fully inclusive. We believe that academically minded and talented students, regardless of their backgrounds, should have equal opportunities to benefit from a grammar school education.
Academic excellence, demonstrated by the exceptional results achieved by our students every year is important to us, but this is only part of the education that is on offer. Our broad co-curricular programme offers genuine enrichment inside and beyond the classroom for the students to find what it is that inspires them.
In a fast-moving and competitive world, we believe it is important that our students grow and mature into confident adults, equipped with the qualifications and skills that they will need to make their next, successful steps in life.
We are proud of our students and all that they achieve. Together, both present and past students share a great pride in the school, and we are developing an alumni programme that will benefit the school and the global network of Wirralians.
If you are interested to find out more about our great school and incredible students, please have a look around our website and get in contact with us. We are at an exciting point in the school’s history; do you want to help create our future?
Yours sincerely,
Simon Ascroft
