Stockport Grammar School are pleased to welcome Arian Nikkhah (OS 2008) as the Old Stopfordian President for the 2025 to 2027 term.

Since his time as a pupil here at SGS, Arian has been a proud supporter of the School and its aims. His contribution was recognised in the 2007-2008 academic year when he was appointed Head Boy. This commitment to school life has continued, as Arian is a current parent, donor, and attends many school and alumni events.

Professionally, Arian manages an IT company in Stockport. A graduate of the University of Leeds, Arian has also worked for the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.

Speaking about his appointment to the role of Old Stopfordian President, Arian said: "Over the next two years I’m looking forward to engaging with pupils past and present and exploring ways in which we can strengthen the Old Stops community, especially as the School moves towards the 550th year since its founding."
