Heckmondwike Grammar School

We have a very strong reputation locally, regionally and even nationally as a school which does all it can to support students to achieve the highest grades and progress to the best possible destinations.

We have a philosophy based on over 125 years of tradition – once a Heckmondwike student, always a Heckmondwike student – and our mutual support can stretch way beyond school years into adulthood. Every child really does matter and we work hard to ensure that no student is left behind. Our strategy involves subject leaders working with classroom teachers to maximise progress, alongside heads of year, form teachers and pastoral support staff to ensure students’ wellbeing. Support from parents and carers is first class and with this we present a coherent and united approach to achieving excellence for all.
