Empowering Girls Since 1874
An independent school for girls aged 4-18
Manchester High School for Girls offers students a vibrant atmosphere and a strong sense of community. In such a supportive environment, each girl feels happy, cared for and valued as an individual.
We were delighted to welcome Class of 2002 alumna, Jasmin Paris, as speaker for our annual Founders’ Lecture yesterday. She joined us virtually from Edinburgh on Burns Night to deliver an inspirational lecture on ‘Mountains, Mind and Motherhood’.
Please note that Manchester High School for Girls will be closed from 12 noon on Thursday 23rd December until Tuesday 4th January 2021. There will be no access to the premises during these times.
Sixth Form student, Riya, is taking on some of the world’s biggest online streaming platforms in a bid to ensure that films and series that are screened online in the UK are classified, in order to safeguard children’s viewing choices.
As we wave goodbye to the month of Movember, we also bid farewell to the ‘Fan-Tache-Tic’ moustaches lovingly cultivated over the last 30 days by the 'Man High Bros'.
17-year-old Anyi has already hit the headlines after releasing three singles with her twin brother, but she can now add another string to her bow, having come third in a national art competition.
At Manchester High, we have been remembering all those who lost their lives whilst in service to their country this week. To tie in with our school theme of community, students have been looking at the impact that war had on communities during their assemblies and in particular the devastating repercussions of the Battle of the Somme on the Accrington Pals.
As the daughter of two professional musicians, 15-year-old Jessica, was destined to be passionate about music, and it looks like she may be following in their footsteps having just received Distinction in her Grade 8 Cello exam.

We were delighted to welcome - albeit virtually - Suzy Glaskie, Class of ’89, who led our first event in our ‘Back to School’ series on Monday evening. This new series of events aims to give parents and alumnae the chance to revisit their school days and enjoy both topics of interest (new and old) and school subjects they want to revisit by coming ‘back to school’.
On Tuesday 12th October, we welcomed back two MHSG alumnae to talk to Manchester High pupils and their parents virtually on Teams about the wide range of career options available for those who go on to study a modern foreign language.
Open Events
Visiting the School and meeting the girls is the best way to find out what makes Manchester High so special.
Open Events for our Preparatory Department, Senior School and Sixth Form are held throughout the Autumn, but there are opportunities to visit all year round.
The achievement and personal development of pupils is excellent.

Its pupils leave the school with the world at their feet but also knowing how to support their friends, take care of themselves and have fun.” – The Good Schools Guide
"Exam results are consistently jaw-dropping."
