Things to note
CLUBS & SOCIETIES
Extra-curricular activities are an important aspect of life at Wirral Grammar School and we encourage all pupils to take part. It is through the extra curricular life of the school that important ‘life-skills’ including leadership, team work, cooperation, problem-solving and enterprise are developed. Extra-curricular opportunity is an important aspect of the spiritual, moral and cultural life of the the school; a good example of this being the raising of £15,000 in one year for the boys’ own choice of school charity.
SPORT
Physical Education and Games play a major role within the School and extra-curricular sport is an area in which we pride ourselves. Our ethos is not just about developing elite sportsmen but also about providing all boys with the opportunity to participate and achieve the best they can! Consequently, we offer sport on both a competitive and a recreational level.
MUSIC
The provision of extra-curricular music is a key feature of our school and participation levels are exceptionally high. Over one third of all boys participate in music lessons and we have no fewer than 18 ensembles, each led by a specialist music teacher. Student involvement at every level forms a key feature of our music provision and this is facilitated through our pupil-led Music Society. Visits overseas, regular Music Society and Chamber Concerts, music competitions and a host of community activities all combine to make extra-curricular music something that is very special at Wirral Grammar School. Our parents believe that our music provision contributes significantly to pupils’ cultural and spiritual development.
PEER SUPORT GROUP
The Peer Support Group is a group of sixth form students who are dedicated to ensuring that the school community is enjoyed by everyone. Not only do we help with organisation of events such as the Year 7 Charity Quiz, but the vast majority of our time goes towards mentoring Year 7s and making sure that they are settled and happy in WGSB. We not only do this during the transition, but also through the year, with each Teaching Group having two dedicated PSG reps that they meet regularly. Our PSG make a positive contribution to the safeguarding of pupils at Wirral GSB.
