Overview

“On visiting for the first time, our immediate impression was of a school where pupils showed a real sense of purpose and where they were clearly enjoying their lessons and activities.”

This comment, by parents looking for a school, is typical of the feedback we are delighted to receive.

At Wisbech Grammar School we are proud of our past but are very much focused on the future. We believe that educational development is not simply confined to the classroom or laboratory, but can be found in the drama studio, sports fields and music rooms. We go beyond the narrow confines of exam specifications, giving an all-round educational experience from which every pupil can benefit.

The School has a fantastically talented teaching staff who develop a strong rapport with pupils, better enabling them to negotiate their own individual learning pathway. 

The facilities on our 34-acre site are excellent and recent developments include;
- School classrooms have been transformed with new designs based around Harkness tables. This is a method of teaching and learning that involves 12-14 pupils seated around a large oval table which encourages pupils to discuss ideas, work collaboratively and shifts the focus away from the more traditional, teacher at the front of the class, approach.
- 6th Form pupils have a new 6th Form Centre which allows pupils to have a dedicated space for specialist 6th Form subjects, collaborative and silent working spaces, a lecture facility, plus a café and common room space all with the aim of supporting academic success at A-level.
- The old 6th Form house has been transformed into a new International Boarding House for overseas pupils.
- Science and Maths, Humanities, alongside and Creative Hubs have been established which will mean pupils benefit from having focused academic environment s that utilise the expertise of specialist teaching staff and resources.
