The Sunday Times Parent Power survey has again rated Bradford Grammar as one of the top three independent schools in the North of England and 80th nationally.
The rankings reflect exams results from summer 2022 when 92% of A Level grades were at A*-B and 80% of GCSE grades were at 9-7.
Headmaster Dr Simon Hinchliffe said: “We are delighted that Bradford Grammar School, and the young people of our home city and region, have been recognised in this way. Our pupils achieve highly year on year, and this is a wonderful reflection on their ambition, spirit and honest graft, including during the lockdowns of recent times”.
Academic league tables however must be regarded cautiously, the devil can sometimes be in the detail, and they never tell the whole story. At Bradford Grammar we place a premium on our pastoral care, partnership, volunteering and wider public benefit work, the arts, sport, clubs and societies, the list goes on. In so doing, we ably equip our pupils to make the most of life, wherever their paths might lead. They also enjoy school, and that means a great deal to us.”
Bradford Grammar was rated ‘excellent’ in all areas by inspectors in 2021 and has been recognised previously as:
- Sunday Times: Independent Secondary School of the Year, North in 2018 and top 3 in the North 2019, 2021, 2022.
- The Daily Telegraph: Best Value Independent Schools in the UK 2020, 2021, 2022
- Independent Schools Council / Schools Together: ‘Celebrating Partnerships’ 2021 and 2022
- Independent Parent Magazine: Independent School of the Year 2021 for Social Mobility
- Times Educational Supplement: Independent School of the Year 2020 for Wellbeing Initiative of the Year.
“But we never get complacent, and keep looking to improve, for example with respect to our Junior School campus development and expanded age range to include Reception and Year 1 opening September 2024,” added Dr Hinchliffe.
