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. 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

Sunday Times Top 10 School.

The 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 stands proudly in the Top 10 Schools according to The Sunday Times.

Meet our Headteacher, Stuart Rees

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.'"

- Stuart Rees, Headteacher

We are thrilled to share Year 8’s Oban has received the Judge's Award for the Middle School Category at the Musician of the Year Final!

Performing with 10 others at the Jacqueline du Pre Music Building at St Hilda's College, Oxford University, Oban impressed the adjudicators with his piece General's Mandate which he performed with confidence and musicality. 

His feedback was: “A tidy performance, exploring a range of dynamics and textural effects effortlessly. The tambura effect set the scene - the physicality of this was contrasted beautifully by the lyrical inner tune. There was/is a lovely sense of intuitive musical engagement with the underlying harmony. The delivery really captured the audience - well done, very enjoyable!”

Many congratulations to Oban on his well deserved award!

Attentive pastoral care lies at the heart of our school’s 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'.

That’s why we are raising awareness of Children’s Mental Health Week next week, by focusing our assemblies on wellbeing and designating time during form to discuss screen time, being safe online, as well as launching student-led initiatives.
