We provide pupils with the emotional support they need to thrive.
Attentive pastoral care lies at the heart of our success and we go to great lengths to ensure that every child feels valued, enjoys school life and achieves more than they thought possible.
At Huddersfield Grammar School a warm, kind and purposeful feel permeates the whole community. For our young people, school is a ‘home from home'.

Form Tutor & Pastoral Team
Support from all staff.
The core pastoral team comprises of Form Tutors, the Health Hub, the pastoral base with our Nurse, alongside key senior staff who have oversight of the care of all our pupils.
This team is led by the Deputy Head (Character) who works closely with our Pastoral Team to coordinate outstanding levels of support for pupils and close communication between team members.
The dedicated tutor is the first person the child sees every day, this creates familiarity and trust between the pupil and teacher. The tutor commits to understanding the child's personal and academic position.
Staff
A passionate workforce.
We believe that children achieve academic excellence when they are happy, inspired and excited by their learning.
Staff are passionate about developing pupils' academic progress and emotional well-being, and are committed to carefully monitoring the pupil's journey as they progress through the school.
We build and encourage close relationships with parents to collaborate at every step of the pupil's journey with us. This keeps the child at the centre of our collective decision-making.
Parents
A whole community.
When a child joins Huddersfield Grammar School, the parents become part of the community. We develop a relationship based on honesty and trust, where the whole child is at the heart of our conversations.
Parents are warmly welcomed to attend sports fixtures, music recitals and drama productions, plus a whole host of social events including Christmas in the Courtyard and our Summer Fair.
Parents are also encouraged to attend our Parental Engagement Events which cover many areas associated with pastoral life and academic strategies.
