"My child is so happy at school and it feels like such a positive influence in her life. My child has grown in confidence and has become so much braver in her outlook already. We are so happy with how she has settled in." - Primary Division Parent
Key benefits of a Bury Grammar School Primary education are:
- We are a warm and friendly school with the highest standards.
- When you send your child to BGS the next key decision to make for them is at age 18 and the choice of university.
- We all need a fabulous mentor in life. Our teachers are superb and will be the best possible guides for your child through their education.
- Our facilities are extraordinary. Your child could be experimenting in our art studios, programming in our IT suites, running around our 45-acre estate and swimming in our pool, from the youngest age.
- Some people might be unsure about whether or not it’s good to get ahead in life. We believe that it is ideal to learn to read, write, and know your times tables at a young age. Why not give your child the best head start possible in life?
- BGS is both traditional and a modern, forward-looking school. As a Microsoft flagship school, all our pupils have a Surface to enhance their learning.
- We know parents lead busy lives and we are keen to support family life. Breakfast Club begins at 7:30am and After School Club is open until 6pm.
- If you agree with us that a happy and fulfilled child is a busy child, you’ll be delighted to know we have 50 extra-curricular activities to offer your child each week, and at no extra cost.
- You might expect a school to say lovely things about itself. Don’t just take our word for it! Our parents, in a confidential survey, overwhelmingly said: ‘BGS is the right choice for their child’, ‘Their child is happy and they are happy about the education we offer’, ‘The investment in a BGS education has been a wise one’, ‘They would recommend BGS to another parent.
Education should be challenging and fun!
We are thrilled to see a love of learning being nurtured and expressed every day. We are proud of how our pupils display confidence and ambition which enables them to gain knowledge, develop an enquiring mind and grow into independent learners and prepare them for the next stage of their education.

High aspirations, quality teaching and outstanding pastoral care go hand in hand
We ensure our pupils are happy within their learning setting. The broad, enquiry-based curriculum consists of Maths, English, Science, Humanities, Computing and Modern Foreign Languages as well as being supported by an extensive range of foundation activities in Art, Music, Drama and Sport, where our extensive facilities come into their own. We take pride in their achievements. Our generous Enrichment Programme is outstanding and allows our pupils to experience a wide range of activities and residential visits.
What makes our Infants so special?
The phenomenal head start we give our pupils in life. Infants is a welcoming and cheery place where children have room to grow and flourish. New experiences, searching for answers and inquisitiveness are encouraged and embraced. Our carefully managed class sizes allow us to support group and personalised learning, with a strong focus on developing individuals
