Sale Grammar School is a grammar school located in Sale to the south of Manchester, England.
The school became an Academy Trust Grammar School in 2011. Admission to the school is through its own entrance examination.
Trafford LA operates a fully selective secondary education system with grammar and high schools. 
The most recent Ofsted report rated the school as "outstanding".

History
The school was opened in 1991 by Princess Alexandra following the merger of Sale Boys' Grammar School and Sale Girls' Grammar School on the site of the old girls' school on Marsland Road. The boys' school was on Moss Lane, but since the merger, this site has been converted into a housing development. A pavilion was demolished to make way for the new houses. A second site, the Claremont Centre located near Sale town centre, was formerly used for sixth form teaching.

Sites
The school only has one main site now: the main Marsland Road site. The Sixth Form Claremont Centre used to be the exclusive sixth form area.

Marsland Road 
The main Marsland Road site as it stands today consists of:

 a three-story Science block
 a gym
 assembly hall and stage
 Seven computer suites
 the school library with ICT facilities 
 the refectory - the canteen area (which is now 'cashless' through thumb print technology)
 the Maths/Art block (including media suite with ICT suite)
 the Technology block (including two workshops, a kitchen classroom, an ICT suite, laptop trolleys, and textile equipment)
 the English block
 the Sports Hall
 an all weather Artificial turf pitch 
 2 music classrooms and music studios
 sixth form centre
 drama studio

The site has extensive fields towards the rear on which two football pitches, a rugby pitch, a running track, and 2 sandpits are situated. Also between the fields and the school buildings is a large concrete area which incorporates a further two sandpits, four dedicated tennis or netball courts, 4 table tennis tables, a basketball court and an area used by pupils to play sports during break and lunch periods.

The school has more than 400 computers with 7 ICT suites available (including a Language Lab). Software on computers is Windows 7

Claremont Centre 
Situated in Sale town centre, a mile from the main site, the Claremont Centre was used exclusively for Sixth Form lessons and for some GCSE language exams, up until Friday 9 May 2014, when Trafford Music Service started to use the facility.
