Good morning. We are finding it extremely difficult to put the pictures on the blog and we don’t know why. We have therefore set up a Facebook account (WWW.Facebook.com/campadventuregrange) so we can send pictures there. We will be up loading a few more pictures shortly.

We shall be departing for Accra by 7.00am tomorrow Saturday 11th June 2011. Take off time for Airport is 6.00am. All Year 6 Pupils are expected to be assembled at the School’s car park by 5.30am. See you then.

Welcome to Grange School Campadventure Blog

Grange, is a leading independent day School, with a boarding service in Nigeria, striving to provide quality education from reception to year 11 (age 4 to 16+).

Grange School was founded in September 1958. It was established as a Primary School to provide education equivalent to what was obtainable in the UK.

During the 90′s there was increasing pressure on the School Board to expand the primary school curriculum up to the British General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) level. This would accommodate the large number of pupils who either had to leave home at an early age to attend Secondary School in the United Kingdom or enter the Nigerian educational system temporarily only to re-enter the British system at Senior Secondary School or University level.

As part of the school’s 40th Anniversary celebration, in September 1998, the Board agreed to address the need to establish a Secondary Section as a co-ed day school, located adjacent to the primary school. The secondary school building complex facing Harold Shodipo Crescent, was to be a symbol of onward-going British traditions in Nigerian society.

The Grange Secondary School endeavors to provide a qualitative British education in a happy, caring and supportive environment. We believe that this can best be accomplished when children feel valued and are treated with dignity. Our curriculum, both in and out of the classroom, provides experiences for children which are academically, socially, physically and aesthetically challenging, while promoting in them a spirit of tolerance and understanding towards others. Our children are given opportunities to develop open and enquiring minds through problem solving and co-operative learning activities. At the same time we believe in the need for an academically demanding program which emphasizes traditional values of hard work and self discipline. We endeavour to value pupils for their achievement and turn failure into future success.
