The Grange Junior School

Northwich, Cheshire West and Chester, North West · CW8 3AU

Founded in 1933, The Grange Junior School is an independent, co-educational day school in Northwich with a Christian character. Around 423 pupils are taught here, and the standout figure is a pupil-to-teacher ratio of roughly 8 to 1, well below what most schools manage and a sign of how much individual attention is on offer. Led by Head Ben Tagg, it sits within the smaller size band, which tends to lend a close-knit feel.

Teaching & academics

With one teacher to every eight or so pupils, classes are small and supervision generous, allowing staff to know each child well and pitch work accordingly. The school is inspected by the ISI, the body responsible for independent schools rather than state provision.
