Moving to BGS was the best decision we've ever made with schooling. The teaching staff are approachable, encouraging, committed, knowledgeable and put every effort into bringing out the best from our boys. They are heavily committed to exposing the boys to many different types of cocurricular activities ensuring that the boys respect each other's different strengths/abilities and are well rounded. The culture of giving new things a go is one of the school's biggest strengths, which is sadly lacking in most other schools. Such a lovely and welcoming community where each boy is truly seen for how they are, nurtured, encouraged and inspired to be their best, while their wellbeing is at the forefront.

If you choose a grammar school you pick a school with one board overseeing it. If the board is lazy or self serving when the proverbial hits the fan it does so in a big way.
No one can help unless daddy lawyers up. On top of what you're paying already.
Sickening to read of the sex stuff all through the media. But it's grammar and they wanna look good at any cost. My question is was it known about before it hit the news?

Grammar strikes again. With their boards and cover ups we urgently need an ombudsman to oversee the corruption that is deeply rooted in some of these schools. It's always the grammar schools. When I called enrolments the woman said she would need to get back to me as to whether they harbour juvenile offenders at the cost of tax payers. Disgusting. I'm not shocked to hear of the thirteen year cover up of sex scandals at all.
Grammar schools are laws unto themselves.
They've got blood on their hands with this filthy scandal.
Look to the west and they're no better with their crap, either.

We moved our son from churchie and it is the best decision we made. The "Grammars" (boys and girls) come with a high academic reputation but really don't be put off as it is not too academic. It has a wonderful balance and is surprisingly sporty. It has a wonderful feeling of respect, most of the boys are very well mannered and the parents are really genuine down to earth lovely people. A wonderfully caring and nurturing school.
