Wolverhampton Grammar School

Founded in 1512, Wolverhampton Grammar School is an award-winning independent day school, for boys and girls ages 4 to 18.

Academically selective, our fees provide access to wonderful advantages – small class sizes, top quality, extremely stable teaching staff, opportunities for extra-curricular activities in sport, music, drama, art, charity work and a whole range of different endeavours. There really is something here for everyone.

WGS is an incredibly warm, welcoming, friendly, purposeful and inclusive school. Whilst we have our feet firmly on the ground, our ambitions and our aspirations for our students are extremely high. Our mission is to ‘transform lives as well as minds’.

Considering WGS?

We are thrilled that you are looking at our wonderful school which we are all extremely proud of. Wolverhampton Grammar School or WGS as it is affectionately known, is renowned for its friendly, warm and inclusive environment and we recommend that you book a tour or visit us on an Open Day to get a real sense of school life.

Whether you are looking for your child’s first ever school as they approach their 4th birthday or considering us for GSCE or even Sixth Form, the staff and students will be keen to share their experiences with you.

You may or may not have been privately schooled yourself? Are you wondering about the benefits of attending a fee-paying school? We hope that our academic results, first-class facilities, outstanding teaching, exceptional pastoral care and region-leading extra-curricular provision will all speak for itself as you look around. We are fortunate that our former pupils, known as Old Wulfrunians or OWs, visit us frequently to share their experiences with prospective families. We look forward to connecting you.
