Wolverhampton Grammar School is an extraordinary school. Founded in 1512, it's one of the oldest schools in the country, within easy access of the wider West Midlands, Staffordshire and Shropshire thanks to flexible school bus links.
If you’ve never visited the stunning 25-acre campus, you can register at any time for a virtual open event or individual tour. Simply visit www.wgs.org.uk to register for our open days or for more information on upcoming events.
Just like the school’s approach to education, the open events are tailored specifically for you with flexible opportunities to join in and meet our staff and students. The events include everything from a guided, virtual tour to an opportunity to hear from teaching and specialist staff about our curriculum; how we use technology; life in the Junior School, Senior School and Sixth Form; and our reading and library services too. You’ll also learn about our exceptional extra-curricular programme – the largest available locally.
All teachers are experts in their own academic disciplines; trained and experienced professionals who love their subjects as much as they enjoy teaching students.
