About

Providing a future-facing curriculum for the next generation of leaders. Huddersfield Grammar School inspires children from Nursery right through to age 16. We are a school that explicitly puts character development at the heart of all it does, nurturing every child to become their best self.

We pride ourselves in having a rich vein of kindness with inclusivity running through our core. We offer academic stretch and a future-focused curriculum for the modern child. Our all-through independent school is dedicated to developing the whole child every bit as much as our strong examination results.

We encourage our pupils to be future-focused, to aim high and make the most of the breadth of opportunities offered to them. The following six characteristics form the core of what we call The HGS Identity – the 'golden thread' – which binds together all pupils who walk through our gates.

At Huddersfield Grammar School, we want each pupil to: We want everything they do at school to inspire our pupils, both within and beyond the classroom. It is our aim for them to leave school as interesting people with a thirst for knowledge.
