Calday Grange Grammar School, initialised as CGGS and commonly known as Calday, is a non-denominational, selective boys' grammar school situated on Caldy Hill in West Kirby on the Wirral peninsula, England. Founded in 1636, the school admits boys aged 11 to 18 and, since 1985, girls for the sixth form only. The school hosts the Wirral Able Children Centre, and has been awarded Sportsmark Gold and Investors in People status. It was previously a specialist technology and modern foreign languages (MFL) college under the former high performing specialist schools (HPSS) programme.
By September 2019, a total of 1,492 boys were enrolled at the school, with 398 enrolled at the co–educational sixth form. The last inspection in which a rating was conferred by government agency Ofsted occurred in September 2019 and rated the school as "good". The most recent inspection in December 2024 did not rate the school but reiterated the previous rating.
