Altrincham Grammar School for Girls

We aim to be firm but positive with all the pupils. Development of self-discipline is encouraged throughout the school and girls, staff and parents have agreed a "Code of Conduct" and Home-School Agreement. Girls may be required to repeat work if it falls below the standard required and parents are asked to sign and return a slip to show that they are aware of the matter. Parents are always notified at least 24 hours in advance if a girl is to be kept in detention. If behavioural problems arise, the school seeks to work closely with parents.

Our aim is to provide a caring environment through a pastoral system which ensures that every child’s personal and academic progress is closely monitored.  Through our teams of Senior Tutors, Assistant Senior Tutors and form tutors we ensure the pupils receive guidance, encouragement and support.
In addition to the team of form tutors, Assistant Senior Tutors and Senior Tutors we also offer support through our peer mentors (Sixth Form).  Every form in Year 7 -11 has a number of sixth form peer mentors who work on a weekly basis with the students in that particular form.  We also have other resources in school including;

• Pastoral Mentor (non teaching member of staff)
• School Counsellor (Relate)
• School Nurse (Based in the Medical Room, available for drop-in sessions)

There is also an Assistant Headteacher responsible for overseeing pupil development and wellbeing.  If you have any concerns you can contact the Senior Tutor using the Main School number or you can email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
