The Manchester Grammar School details the range of opportunities that pupils could participate in this year.
Every year, for one week in the summer term, all teaching at The Manchester Grammar School pauses, allowing every pupil to participate in a week-long activity of their choice. Typically, 450 pupils embark on residential trips during this week. Some of these activities include: Bassenthwaite Camp (water sports), Borrowdale Camp (walking), Grasmere Camp (mountaineering), Chinese Martial Arts, Fencing & Adventure, Multi Activity Week, Computer Science, and Learning to Ski or Snowboard, among many others.
This programme provides an excellent opportunity for pupils to strengthen friendships both within and across year groups, while challenging themselves to learn new skills and step out of their comfort zones. It serves as a wonderful conclusion to the academic year, allowing pupils to focus on friendships before they embark on the next school year with new friends, fresh academic pursuits, and various challenges. Founded in 1515, The Manchester Grammar School has established a reputation as one of the top academic schools in the country. The school aims to educate the brightest young men in the North of England, equip them to have the courage to use the understanding they gain, teach them to think for themselves and to develop a lifelong love of learning, produce well-rounded young men who have a true sense of service to their communities, and maintain a vibrant and diverse programme of co-curricular activities within the school.
Activities Week allows the boys to emulate these values and put them into practice, while making memories which will last a lifetime.
