A brilliant effort from our U11 Netball Team! 👏
They may have lost the match, but they played brilliantly as a team — showing great enthusiasm, determination, and flexibility as they tried out new positions. For some, it was their very first competitive game, and they applied everything they’ve learned in lessons. Well done, everyone! 🌟
A brilliant 20–17 win for our U16 Netball Team against Hipperholme!
Great teamwork, resilience and determination throughout! 💪🏐
This week we welcomed Mrs Bagri to our Prep School Assembly to talk about the Sikh faith, traditions and values. It was an absolute joy to listen to, with values such as kindness, courage, being humble and thinking outwardly to community, all being at the forefront.
We enjoyed learning about Bandi Chhor Divas, a festival celebrating freedom along with the importance of the Gurdwara and how this links with wider community. Mrs Bagri was supported by Amar, Hans and Jeevan who presented wonderfully and even included a knowledge check quiz at the end.
Mrs Jhutty and Mrs Khangura also attended and supported through their children. Thank you to all involved; it truly was a great start to the week and we all learned a great deal more about Sikhism.
Today our Year 11 students enjoyed an insightful visit from @kirkleescollege, exploring the wide range of pathways available after HGS — from A Levels and apprenticeships to vocational courses.
Thank you to the team for helping our pupils feel informed and inspired about their next steps!
Pupils can find all relevant information regarding their sixth form and college application process on the careers channel of Teams.
Congratulations to the HGS U16 Football Team who were crowned Plate Champions in the U16 ISA North 8 aside Football Competition.
All of the players showed a great attitude to compete in every match. They finished the day only losing one match 1-0 in the group stage. In the knockout stage they showed their class to convincingly win both matches to secure the medal.
A special shoutout to our player of the tournament Lucas in Year 9 who was playing up two age groups in the U16 competition.
Year 1 have enjoyed a trip to EUREKA today as part of their latest Science topic `The Human Body`.
The day consisted of learning how to become a `grossologist`, all about the digestive system and, of course, lots of play at the iconic shop, bank, and EUREKA tram stop.
A brilliant day of interactive learning!
On Saturday, we hosted our Whole School Open Morning!

💛 We’re proud to champion mental health and on 10th October, we’ll be doing just that! 💛
In support of @youngmindsuk and their inspiring #HelloYellow campaign, we’re inviting every student to add a pop of yellow to their uniform — from bright socks to sunny t-shirts or badges — to show that no one is ever alone with their mental health. 🌼✨
Together, we’ll be raising awareness and funds for this incredible cause through donations and stalls during break time. Every splash of yellow counts! 💛
