Neil Renton, Headteacher, would like to welcome you to the positive, inspiring and inclusive community of Harrogate Grammar School (HGS).
We value every student as an individual packed with potential, ready to challenge themselves in the classroom, on the sports pitch, on the stage or beyond. Our drive to achieve Excellence for All gives students the confidence to reach high, ask questions and be the best that they can be. Students are encouraged to pursue their interests, discover new ones and to achieve their ambitions.
We hope this website gives you a flavour of the remarkable students and exceptional staff who help make HGS such a special place to learn and develop.
