	Manchester Grammar School - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Manchester Grammar School (MGS) is an independent boys' school (ages 11-18) in Fallowfield, Manchester, England.
		In the post-war period, it was a direct-grant grammar school which was not fee-paying, but it became an independent school in 1976 after the Labour government - in the person of Education Secretary Shirley Williams - removed funding from direct-grant grammar schools.
		The name refers to the school's logo of the owl (pupils at the school are referred to as 'Sons of the Owl'), and is a key feature of an education at the school - it is unthinkable that a boy should finish his time there having never visited it.

	Hugh Oldham, Humphrey Chetham, Lady Ann Bland, William Hulme and other Manchester Philanthropists and Religious
		Hugh Oldham was Bishop of Exeter, and founder of the renowned Manchester Grammar School.
		The Manchester Grammar School was set up by Oldham with the expressed purpose of making good education available to all those who could benefit from it, and the poor especially - all that was required of potential students was that they have an aptitude for learning, and Oldham would take care of the funding.
		His school was built on Long Millgate (near Victoria Station, and adjoining Chetham's School of Music), where a building of that name survives today, though the Grammar School moved to its new, larger purpose-built premises in Rusholme in the 1930s.

	Interesting Article 3 : The David and Jayne Paterson Educational Trust
		The older system enabled state pupils to attend about 150 independent schools - many of them the Tudor foundation grammar schools, of which Manchester, founded in 1515, was one.
		This caused schools such as Manchester Grammar big problems as its philosophy was one day to offer places to all those who passed its special entrance test regardless of whether they could pay the fees.
		The school's academic performance is glittering - it is usually in the top 10 for GCSEs and each year 40 to 60 pupils go on to Oxbridge, while 85 per cent obtain A or B grades at A-level, and have done so for the past three years.

		I should make it clear that I have nothing against the three assisted places schools in my constituency, and I have very good personal relations with their head teachers--or high master, as the head of Manchester grammar school is called.
		The ample playing fields of Manchester grammar school, which is right in the heart of my constituency, contrast with the thwarted yearning of those at Spurley Hey high school to get their hands on a filled-in clay pit that is next to the school.
		When I visited Manchester high school for girls, however, one of the assisted places girls told me that if she had not been awarded an assisted place, she would have had to attend Wright Robinson, and spoke as if that were a fate to be avoided if at all possible.
