Welcome to Huddersfield Grammar School

We are a highly successful independent school in 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.

It was a thought-provoking visit to Greenhead Park today as our Year 2 students, alongside Head Students George, Olivia, Roop and Ryan, laid poppies to mark HGS’ respect for those who fought during WW1 and WW2.

The ceremony created conversations between our young children and members of the public, who shared their thoughts and experiences on the day.

It was, as always, a pleasure to visit and to highlight to our children the importance of respect.
