Welcome to Senior School

Pupils are encouraged to think independently, aim high and step outside their comfort zones. Through an ambitious curriculum and a vibrant co-curricular life, they explore their interests and build confidence, supported by passionate subject specialists who bring learning to life.

At MHSG, academic excellence is only part of the story. What truly sets us apart is our community. Every girl is known, supported and celebrated as an individual. We believe that wellbeing and success go hand in hand, and that kindness, resilience and self-belief are just as important as exam results.

Pupils are encouraged to blow their own trumpets, and each other’s. They’re building a sisterhood here.

Lasting Results

By the end of Year 11, pupils leave the Senior School not only with impressive results, but with lifelong friendships, a strong sense of self, and the courage to make their mark on the world.

Manchester High is undoubtedly an academic school for girls with ability and a can-do attitude. But it’s so much more than that. This is an inclusive, unpretentious, warm and generous-spirited school where girls are encouraged to be themselves, are listened to and obviously love the great education they receive.
