North Cestrian School is a school in Altrincham, England, for pupils aged between 11 and 16. North Cestrian is part of the Hamblin Educational Trust with Altrincham Grammar School for Boys.
The school was opened in 1951 by Walter Hamblin, formerly headmaster of Altrincham Grammar School for Boys, with 26 pupils. In 2004, the library was named after him.
The school was originally to be named North Cheshire Grammar School, but this was not permitted by the county education authorities as the school was not government-owned. Hamblin therefore replaced "Cheshire" with its Latinised form "Cestrian"; this maintained the same "NCGS" initials already in place on some school equipment.
The school was originally an all-boys school but in September 2006 admitted its first girls into the sixth form. In 2008, it became fully co-educational.
In 2008, teacher David Bradley was awarded an MBE in the Queen's New Year Honours List for services to young people.
