Henry Bury but was more likely chosen due to the similar names , whilst the key is believed to be a play on the name of the re-founder, the Reverend Roger Kay. The Old Girls' Association produces a glossy, full colour annual magazine called The Record; members of the Old Boys' Society receive an annual 4 page newsletter imaginatively titled "Newsletter". The Girls' School also produce a magazine, which is eminently readable. The London Old Girls have a nice lunch each year. The boys' school has four houses , whose colours are reflected in the colour of the badge and the stripes of the tie on the school uniforms.
Three were originally created in in an attempt to introduce some of the camaraderie of boarding school into the academic and sporting life of a day school. The three houses were:.
In , following the lead of the Boys' school, the Girls' school introduced a House System. There were five Houses, into which girls were placed depending upon where they lived. The Houses were: Lord Kitchener Bury , Sir Robert Peel Walmersley , Lord George Byron Rochdale , Lord Robert Clive Prestwich and Samuel Crompton Ainsworth and Bolton — all these once famous men had a particular association with the locality or localities in the case of Crompton mentioned in parenthesis, but details of such connection is beyond the scope of this entry.
In , the House System was changed due to the fact that somes Houses had many more members that others, which rendered inter-House competitions unfair even in those days, it wasn't just the "taking part" that counted at BGS!
The new houses were named after then famous women: Elizabeth Garrett Anderson red badge , Frances Mary Buss green badge , Edith Cavell blue and white badge , Elizabeth Fry orange badge , Octavia Hill originally turquoise, later purple, badge and Florence Nightingale yellow badge. The girls' school uses four letters for forms: L, K, P and N, which are the initials of the surnames of the first four headmistresses Lester, Kitchener, Perigo and Neild.
Membership of different forms does not change the blazer badge colour, but they wear a circular badge which bears the colour yellow for Lester, blue for Kitchener, green for Perigo and red for Neild. These houses are used to form teams, and interform competitions are often held. Currently, all boys study English language, English literature, maths, and chemistry, biology and physics as individual subjects.
In addition to this, boys must take either French or German. Often, families will all be in the same house. House does not affect classes; the only time any house distinction is made is during either one of the various House competitions, in many areas such as sport and music. No houses exist in the girls' school; the girls' uniforms resemble those of boys in Hulme in terms of colour. Missing image Bgsswancrest. And this is exactly what we do at Bury Grammar School. This prospectus will give you a feel for BGS but nothing beats coming to visit us.
Our doors are always open and we are always proud to show visitors around our School. I look forward to welcoming you to Bury Grammar School in person. Mrs Jo Anderson - Principal. They are considerate of others and know that they are valued as individuals by the school community. Enrichment To encourage all pupils to participate in a wide range of activities, developing an allround approach to their education and a life-long love of learning. We get the opportunity to go on some really amazing school trips which make our learning even more interesting!
To challenge and inspire pupils to work hard, aim high and achieve and to provide an excellent learning environment where each pupil values academic success and where achievement is celebrated by all. To foster intellectual curiosity and generosity of spirit, selfbelief, confidence, a sense of responsibility and a caring and tolerant outlook. To support parents in raising well-rounded, ambitious and happy children who play a positive role in society, develop a sense of duty and service and are well prepared for lives in an ever-changing world.
We are supported to the highest level; teachers encourage us to reach for our goals; and as students, we definitely feel that our individual achievements are celebrated and valued.
We want our pupils to enjoy the very best teaching and to have the happiest possible years in school. We are proud to be a leading academic school with a big heart. The structure of our School reflects these twin aims: boys and girls enjoy all the benefits of being taught separately during the formative ages of 7 to 16, but at the same time have many opportunities to learn together and get to know each other in the vast number of extra-curricular activities we offer.
In the Infant School and Sixth Form, we find that coeducational teaching is perfect for our pupils. Our pupils are ambitious and serious about their learning, and we are serious about providing a positive, friendly and kind environment which enables them to thrive in every way.
I love chatting with them — they are so funny and so happy! Friendships across age groups are common and nurtured through our House System and all our pupils share a common desire to do well. Bury Grammar School really is unique: we enjoy the highest academic standards while leading the way in pastoral care; our pupils aim high but are resolutely down to earth; and we take enormous pride in our year history while looking to the future with confidence, openness and optimism.
In Kindergarten we are very proud to be the beginning of the Bury Grammar School educational journey. Our children are welcomed at the tender age of rising 3 and they embark on an amazing learning experience where they are inspired to make new discoveries and have great fun along the way.
Our unique approach of blended early learning and play ensures that every day is an adventure for your child. We help our children to challenge and express themselves while having fun, exploring, and being creative.
Young children love to learn. BGS Infant School is a happy and friendly place with a unique character and positive atmosphere. Purpose built classrooms and cheerful outdoor play areas are designed to help develop their understanding and sense of discovery. Our pupils make excellent progress. Physical challenge and creative development are vital for young children.
Our specialist teachers including those for Sport, Music, IT and Modern Foreign Languages fully utilise our purpose built resources such as the Infant Sports Hall, music room and the central octagonal hall for our special concerts and assemblies. She has made remarkable progress personally, socially and academically. Thank you BGS. The spirit of mutual respect, fair play and friendship which exists throughout the School fosters an atmosphere which allows the boys to thrive.
Throughout the School, the curriculum provides extensive coverage of mathematical, scientific, creative, aesthetic and practical spheres of study and is supported by an extensive range of extra-curricular activities in Music and Sport. The boys participate in frequent educational visits to museums, theatres and lectures. Boys are encouraged to develop a love of learning, to identify and explore their talents, and to pursue a wide range of interests.
As a result of this ethos, when they transfer to the Senior School they are maturing into articulate, confident and considerate young men, equipped with the necessary academic and social skills for the next stage of their education. There is no doubt that BGSB have made my son into the smart, inquisitive young man he is today.
Our girls display confidence which enables them to gain knowledge, develop an enquiring mind and grow into independent learners in order to prepare them for the next stage of their education. The atmosphere is all about boosting confidence and encouraging each girl to flourish. We are committed to developing each girl and nurturing her potential.
High aspirations, quality teaching and outstanding pastoral care go hand in hand. At BGS we understand our children and provide a rich and positive environment in which all our children thrive and learn. Our school aims underpin everything we do creating confident, ambitious, and well-rounded positive members of society in an ever-changing world.
