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.

Our achievement

Huddersfield Grammar School is celebrating its seventh year in the Parent Power Schools Guide, which identifies the highest-achieving schools in the UK, ranked by their performance in public examinations.
Since debuting in the league table back in 2018, our School now ranks 8th, standing proudly in the Top 10 Schools according to The Sunday Times.
Huddersfield Grammar School’s ranking in the Sunday Times Parent Power League 2025 is a clear indication of our ongoing commitment to excellence. We remain, more so than ever, focused on maintaining our high standards and providing an exceptional educational experience for all our students, empowering them to excel academically and beyond.
Mr Rees brings with him a wealth of experience, with almost 25 years in teaching. He is most passionate about developing pupils’ character, via the HGS Identity, to equip them socially and emotionally for the needs of the modern world.
"Everything we do at Huddersfield Grammar School is dedicated to 'The whole child is the whole point.'"

On Tuesday 1st April, the Prep community IGNITE team would like you to join them for a Kirkwood Cuppa in the Trivium from 2:35-3:30pm.
Hot drinks and biscuits will be served, in return for cash donations for the charity and there will be a tombola stall (tickets for which will be £1 for 5).
If you have any suitable tombola prizes at home that you would like to donate, please feel free to send these into school to Mrs Ward by the 24th March. Items such as chocolate, sweets, toiletries, Easter eggs, stationary or drinks would be perfect.

Thank you to Year 5’s Hira for all the work she has been doing at home regarding stress and mental well-being of Prep students at HGS!
In conjunction with April’s Stress Awareness Month and her Anti-Bullying Ambassador role, Hira has been developing ideas and initiatives, like Feeling Journals and Affirmation Cards, to encourage self-reflection, emotional expression and to promote positivity and confidence amongst her classmates.
Hira also raised over £200 doing a sponsored 4-mile walk at the Ingleton Waterfall Trail to encourage her friends and family to explore outside!
Amazing work Hira 👏

Pupils from the HGS Literary Club were invited to listen to Phillipa Gregory speak about her newest teen edition of ‘Normal Women’ at Greenhead College yesterday!
Students heard about her inspiration for writing about 900 years worth of history and the women who often go unnoticed when recalling famous historical events.
In collaboration with Read bookshop in Holmfirth, she celebrated some of our local normal women with the help of local schools and we were privileged to get our copies signed!

Saturday saw the return of HGS Bake Off, in conjunction with our whole school Open Day! 🍰
50 of our students took part in round 1 of the highly anticipated competition - biscuits in the theme of Mother’s Day! 🌷
It was brilliant to see the pupils in action, using their culinary skills learnt in Food Nutrition with Mrs Richards, to bring to their imagination to life.
We also welcomed back 25 Alumni pupils, who volunteered to help at our Open Day, where 4 assisted at Bake Off, helping our students when they needed assistance!
Thank you to Miss Russell for the photographs 📸
