Today, we’re delighted to highlight Altrincham Grammar School for Boys (AGSB)—a prestigious institution with more than a century of academic excellence and civic contribution.

A Proud History in the Heart of Altrincham

Founded in 1912, AGSB has stood as a cornerstone of education in Greater Manchester for over 100 years.

Over the decades, AGSB has maintained a strong tradition of academic achievement while evolving to meet the needs of modern students. The school’s continued success lies in its ability to blend tradition with innovation, fostering a culture of excellence, leadership, and community service.
