Welcome to Huddersfield Grammar School
We are a highly successful independent school in West Yorkshire, providing a future-facing curriculum for the next generation of leaders. Our academic results are exceptional, with a focus on pupil wellbeing and character development at the heart of all we do.
Set in beautiful grounds, we provide children from ages 3-16 a caring, supportive environment in which to learn. Children are inspired from the very beginning of their educational journey in Nursery and Reception, and this continues right through the Pre-Preparatory, Preparatory and Senior School.

We encourage our pupils to work hard, aspire to high academic standards and we delight in watching them become fully-rounded members of the school and community.

Earlier this week, our Early Years children had a special visit from the Yorkshire Ambulance Service 🚑
They explored the inside of an ambulance, tried on oxygen masks, and used stethoscopes!
They also practised wrapping bandages like real paramedics.
The children diagnosed their beloved teddies and treated them with bandages and pretend, medicine and X-rays.
Thank you to the amazing ambulance team who inspired a few future paramedics!

As part of Year 10’s Chloé’s role on the Girl Guiding National Amplify Youth Steering Group, she was invited to the Prime Minister’s VE Day Street Party in Downing Street on Monday!
Alongside veterans, military families and other youth group representatives, Chloé’s role at the event was imperative in ensuring the importance that the message of VE Day lives on for future generations.
Well done Chloé!

A brilliant day celebrating our wonderful Year 11’s on Friday for their ‘Leavers Day.’
It was fantastic to see our younger pupils and staff eager to sign Year 11’s shirts, writing good luck messages and providing words of wisdom as they start their GCSEs this week.
To Year 11, as Mr Rees said on Friday, you have made us incredibly proud over the last 5 years in Senior school. You represent everything HGS stands for and we wish you the best of luck in your exams and for the future!

A beautiful moment between our Senior IGNITE students performing their own novel to our Pre-Prep children, as part of their British Sign Language studies! Our students have created their own fairytale novel, learning the ways in which to create an engaging narrative for young children, plus ensuring the book can be accessible for all! #Huddersfield #Grammar #School #BritishSignLanguage #Novel
