Grammar School
The Manchester Grammar School (MGS) is the largest independent day school
for boys in the United Kingdom (ages 7–18) and is located in Manchester,
England. Founded in 1515 as a free grammar school, it was formerly adjacent
to Manchester Parish Church (later Manchester Cathedral) until 1931 when it
moved to its present 28-acre site at Fallowfield.
