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.

Huddersfield Grammar School offers academic stretch and an enviable co-curricular programme. We are renowned for our rich vein of kindness and inclusivity. 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.

Character development

When children leave school, they should be equipped with the skills they need to be the best version of themselves. Today’s working world is a challenging one, and it’s crucial to develop a child’s character through teaching transferable skills that will help them to thrive in the future and beyond the classroom.

Academic quality

We are extremely proud to consistently achieve results that are far beyond the national average at every school stage – from Key Stage 2 results exceeding national averages by over 15% to quality GCSE outcomes at 28% higher than national results.

Future-focused curriculum

Keeping up with the ever-changing world, our curriculum encourages pupils to look beyond life at HGS and develop the important intangible skills that will benefit them throughout life as innovators, collaborators and leaders.

Our Nursery

  • Specialist teaching in PE, swimming and ballet, plus Forest School lessons.

  • Extensive co-curricular programme

  • Nursery children follow a ‘mini’ timetable to help with the transition to Reception

  • EYFS funding offered (15 hours)

Our achievement

Huddersfield Grammar School’s ranking in the Sunday Times Parent Power League 2025 is a clear indication of our ongoing commitment to excellence.

Last Friday, we had the pleasure of welcoming Huddersfield MP Harpreet Uppal to HGS to discuss road safety.

After meeting with our IGNITE Political Literacy group in January at the Houses of Parliament, Harpreet Uppal promised to meet our students this term to speak about their experiences of road safety and liaise with the local council about any initiatives that can be put in place to ease drop off and pick up traffic.

Thank you for listening to our students and showing a genuine interest in their stories.
