Following National Offer Day, we are delighted to share the outstanding outcomes achieved by our current Year 6 boys at Altrincham Preparatory School. This year’s results reflect not only academic excellence but also the confidence, resilience and ambition that define our pupils. A significant proportion of the year group – approximately one third – have secured and accepted places at either Altrincham Grammar School for Boys or St Ambrose College. Both schools sit within the highly competitive Trafford grammar system, where entry standards continue to rise year on year. These results, therefore, represent an exceptional achievement and a testament to the boys’ hard work and determination.
The cohort has also enjoyed remarkable success in the independent school sector. Collectively, the boys sat 50 entrance examinations for leading independent schools and received an impressive 47 offers, representing an overall success rate of 94%. Many pupils secured multiple offers, demonstrating their ability to excel across a range of different assessment formats, including interviews, written examinations and scholarship processes. We are also proud to celebrate several prestigious awards, including both academic and music scholarships.
These outcomes highlight both the breadth and depth of achievement within the cohort. Consistently strong results across selective grammar schools and leading independent schools speak volumes about the clarity of our 11+ pathway and the precision of our preparation. Through a carefully structured, data-informed approach, pupils develop not only the knowledge required for success but also the self-belief to perform confidently in high-stakes assessments. Most importantly, we are incredibly proud of every member of our Year 6 cohort, regardless of the destination they have chosen, whether grammar, independent or maintained state school. Each boy has demonstrated maturity, perseverance and a positive spirit throughout his journey at APS. Over the coming months, we look forward to celebrating their individual stories as they prepare for the exciting next stage of their education. As is customary, the final Destination of Leavers list will be published on the school website before Easter once all independent school places have been formally accepted.
To discover more about the approach behind our consistent success, we warmly invite you to visit the school and meet our Headmaster, Mr Vernon.
