North Cestrian Grammar School in Altrincham has announced it is to seek Free School status from September 2015.
Better Tuition’s team of expert teachers can prepare your child for entrance exams.
What does this mean?
If the bid is successful, from September 2015, North Cestrian Grammar School will become a Free School – an independent, yet government funded school that is free to attend. Current students will no longer pay fees and new students will be admitted regardless of economic background. The school will no longer be able to select on the basis of academic achievement via an entrance exam (currently, the school advises that its entrance exam tests English, mathematics and reasoning). We will bring you more details about North Cestrian Grammar School‘s Free School bid as and when they become available.
How can I find out more?
The school is running a New Parents consultation evening on Monday, 10th February 2014 from 7.00 – 8.00pm as well as two Open Events – one on Thursday 13th February 2014 (6.30 – 8.30pm) and one on Saturday 1st March 2014 (10.ooam – 3.00pm). You can also learn more by visiting North Cestrian Grammar School’s website.
