The Stopfordian Parents’ Association want to help parents buy good quality musical instruments and to assist other parents who wish to sell instruments that are no longer played regularly.
The SPA will advertise these instruments on this website, at Junior School and Senior School First Year parents’ evenings and at uniform sales during the school year.
To sell
Parents need to complete the form below, giving contact information and accurate details of the instrument.
This should be left at the Senior School office, together with a cheque for £5 for each instrument, payable to Stockport Grammar School, for the attention of Mrs Gill Clarke SPA.
The SPA or Stockport Grammar School reserve the right to remove musical instruments from the list if their description is not accurate.
To buy
Parents should see the listings below, visit the SPA uniform sales or email gclarke59@ntlworld.com for details of instruments available.
The SPA or Stockport Grammar School cannot accept responsibility for the suitability and condition of any musical instrument. Buyers should ask their music teacher for advice if necessary.
