Calday Grange Grammar School (abbreviated to CGGS; also known as Calday, Calday Grange) is a non-denominational selective state-funded grammar school, founded in 1636, situated on Caldy Hill in the town of West Kirby on the Wirral peninsula, England. The school admits boys from age 11 to 18, and since 1985 girls for the sixth form only. The school has academy status, hosts the Wirral Able Children Centre,[1] and has been awarded Sportsmark Gold and Investors in People status.

Geography

The school stands in a residential area of Wirral close to the Dee Estuary. Pupils come primarily from Wirral, Deeside and Cheshire areas.[2] The main site at the top of Caldy Hill is occupied by the school buildings, sports cages and field, with a larger field located over Grammar School Lane. A mile southeast of the main school buildings, along Column Road/Telegraph Road, are the Glasspool Playing Fields including 3 rugby pitches, a cricket square and a sand-based artificial hockey field. The school is surrounded by suburban housing development and the protected heathlands and woods of Grange, Caldy and Thurstaston.

School history and status

Founded in 1636, Calday Grange Grammar School is Wirral’s oldest surviving grammar school. It was established as a free grammar school on the present site by local landowner William Glegg. From when it started with 12

pupils, the school has grown ainto a establishment of over 1300 students – which includes over 400 male and female students in the Sixth Form.[3]

Calday Grange Grammar School became a trust school on 1 January 2009, transferring ownership of the school land and buildings to a Charitable Trust called "The Calday Grange Trust". The Calday Grange Trust is a partnership between Calday Grange Grammar School, The University of Liverpool, Unilever Research and Development and Maestro Services Ltd. Calday Grange Grammar School was the first Wirral School to convert to Trust Status.[4]

In September 2011, the school informed parents that "The School has received notification from Companies House that the Calday Grange Trust Company has been dissolved. This has been notified to the Governing Body who contacted Wirral Local Authority and indicated their wish to revert to the Foundation Schools Instrument of Government".[5]

In July 2011, the process for converting to an Academy school was begun, and the school converted to academy status with effect from 1 January 2013.[6]

Performance

In 2010 the school was inspected and judged Good.[7][8]

In 2016 the school was again judged Good.[9]

In 2015 96% of the year group achieved 5 GCSE passes at grades A* to C with 96.2% gaining at 5 A* to C grades including English and Maths. Four students achieved the highest possible level of 10 or more A* grades.[10]

In 2015 Calday School received its best A level results since 2010 with a pass rate of 99.2% at A*-E grades.[11]{{better|date=February 2019}}

Extracurricular

Sport

Combined cadet force

The school maintains a Combined Cadet Force. The combined Cadet force has been at Calday since 1916,[12] when a unit of the

Officers’ Training Corps was first formed.

Other

Volunteering opportunities include supporting the Refilwe Community Project in South Africa which the school has been involved in for over 9 years. Students have also been involved with various independent entrepreneurial pursuits.[13]

The school has three Houses named after past benefactors and headmasters. Members of each house are identified by different coloured stripes on the school tie from years 7 to 11.

  • Bennett – Named after Thomas Bennett, House colour Blue.
  • Glegg – Named after William Glegg, House colour Red.
  • Hollowell – Named after Rev. William Hollowell, House colour Green.
