The Grange School is an independent day school near Northwich, Cheshire, England, a member of the Headmasters' and Headmistresses' Conference.

Founded in 1933 as a preparatory school, in 1978 the school made the unusual progression to the opening of a secondary school and now teaches pupils of all school ages.^[2]

The school is divided across two sites; the Junior School and the Senior School and Sixth Form. The Junior school has six forms, for National Curriculum Years 1 to 6, as well as a Reception class. The senior school has First, Second, Third, Fourth and Fifth Forms, for Years 7 to 11, plus a Lower and Upper Sixth Form for Years 12 and 13.^[2]

The Junior School is in Beechwood Avenue, Hartford, near Northwich, the Senior School in Bradburns Lane, Hartford.^[3] The school has its own theatre, built in 2005 as part of the Senior School campus and named the Grange Theatre. It can be hired for community and conference use.^[4] The school also has a £6m purpose-built Sport Centre that is used by the school and the Hartford community.^[5]

Extra-curricular activities include music, drama, rowing with the Grange School Rowing Club, and a Duke of Edinburgh's Award scheme. There is also a Community Service programme and the school has had a link with a school in the Gambia for many years.^[6]

In 2023 there were 157 pupils in the school's Sixth Form.^[1] Almost all school leavers progress to higher education.^[7] Former pupils are called Old Roburians,^[8] from the school's Latin motto, E Glande Robur, meaning "from an acorn, an oak".
