The North Halifax Grammar School

The North Halifax Grammar School, is a mixed selective school which has joint admissions arrangements with a partner grammar school in Halifax.

The school has an impressive record of attainment at GCSE and at A Level.  One third of Year 13 students secured places at Russell Group universities in 2012.

The school was judged Good with an Outstanding Sixth Form in its last inspection in November 2023.  Their report described the school as “ambitious and caring” and said “students receive high levels of academic and pastoral support”. "As a result, relationships between students and staff are warm and respectful,” said the report. "This helps to promote a positive culture in the school.” Of particular note was the frequent use of the word ‘joy’ to describe the experience of being in the school.

The school benefits from an experienced and focused Governance Board and exceptionally supportive parents. The school buildings have undergone major improvement and development including the addition of a state of the art sports hall.

The North Halifax Grammar School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and all applicants to the school undergo child protection screening appropriate to the post, including checks with past employers and the Disclosure and Barring Service.
