Headteacher's Welcome

For over 475 years, Maidstone Grammar School has provided generations of young people with an excellent education.

We have a long-standing reputation for academic success, with not only outstanding results at GCSE and A Level, but also a consistent record of providing our students with the qualifications and skills required to go on to destinations that meet their interests. However, MGS is about more than just exam results. We offer a broad and varied co-curricular and personal development programme, which, when combined with our ethos, values, and belief in academic rigour, produces well-rounded students.
