Altrincham Grammar School for Girls (sometimes referred to as Altrincham Girls Grammar School or AGGS for short) is an all girls secondary school situated on Cavendish Road in Bowdon, in Greater Manchester, England. Serving about 1,250 students age 11 to 18, it is the biggest single-sex grammar school in England. AGGS was a product, alongside many other schools, of the 1902 Education Act which set out to build new schools especially motivated towards the provision of enhanced education for girls. It was not originally planned as a girl's school but as a dual school with boys. However it was finally agreed that the lot (the area was an originally inhabited by a substantial derelict house with spacious grounds called Bowdon Lodge) was not big enough for both the boys and girls school and the Bowdon lodge site was reserved for a girl's school and the provision for the boys was sought elsewhere. The building was designed to accommodate one hundred and eighty children, thirty of whom were at nursery age and the school was opened on Monday, 4 July 1910. In September 1910, the school was eventually populated by sixty pupils eager to learn. Three full-time and five part-time staff were employed which is a distinct contrast with today's 80 plus teachers. The original plan for the school was to cover an age-range from five to eighteen years but in 1931, the school's 21st anniversary, it lost most of its preparatory department. The headmistress for the first twenty-three years of AGGS was Miss Mary Howes Smith whose portrait can still be seen to this day, hanging on the wall of the main hall. The school motto, which can still be seen on an illuminated light-oak board in the main hall, originates from this era also. It was designed to reflect the values of Altrincham County High School (as the school was named at the time), and the students who attended it. The school's motto – Fortiter, Fideliter, Feliciter – translates as Bravely, Faithfully and Cheerfully. In 1933 the school saw the retirement of its first headmistress. From its inception, Miss Howes Smith had moulded and nurtured Altrincham County High, providing the foundations for the school seen today. The school has been prosperous and 2010 the school celebrated its centenary year, in commemoration a special centenary garden was built.

Longstanding residents of Bowdon will remember the Bowdon Festival, founded in 1979 to mark the centenary of composer John Ireland, born in Bowdon in 1879. The Festival attracted both seasoned international performers as well as up and coming artists, including the now very famous Rowan Atkinson. After a gap of 30 years the Bowdon Festival returns this year, with a programme of music and arts events in the splendid venues of St Mary's and Bowdon Parish Centre. Launched on 2 May at Bowdon Business Fair, the Festival—like the Fair—is a way in which St Mary's can contribute to the life of the parish and the wider community. The plan is to attract national and international artists to Bowdon and this year’s programme already includes performances by pianist Andrew Wilde, international soprano Amanda Echalaz, judged by music critics, including Anna Picard of The Independent, to be 'the leading Tosca of her generation' and the Arcana String Quartet (see below).
