Heckmondwike Grammar School is a unique school, with students who are eager to learn, keen to know more and want to enjoy their educational experiences. It is exceptional in many ways: a very diverse school community that produces results of the highest quality. We work effectively with our young people, really care about them and their futures and have an ultimate success measure of enabling them to proceed to where they want to go. Excellent relationships between staff and students are the norm, expectations are high and students perform very well as a consequence.
We are delighted to have been named “Secondary School of the Year”, in the North of England, for 2024 and 2025 in the Sunday Times Parent Power Guide. This is a measure of school performance for GCSE and A level outcomes.
At GCSE our students typically exceed government set target grades by more than 1 grade in each subject and we are ranked second nationally for state coeducational schools.
At A level, we rank in the top 20% of providers nationally for grades AAB or above and typically 3 times the national average of our students attend Oxbridge universities.
We are very proud of our academic heritage.
Misbehaviour is rare; and excellent relationships between staff and students are the norm: teachers are able to ‘get on and teach’. Working here is still challenging, however, but in different ways: expectations are high and potential applicants will need to be able to operate effectively in a top performing environment. However, one of the principal joys of working at this school is our eloquent and motivated students. Consequently, outcomes are amongst the very best in the country, and this is the result of able cohorts being provided with high quality teaching that is supported by strong pastoral care for each student. The school is justifiably proud of the focus on academic attainment and knowledge of each individual that enables education to be tailored to every student’s needs; but also prioritises the support it provides to enable any barriers to progress to be addressed. The focus is and will always remain teaching and learning in the classroom, with staff training and development being the main means of achieving this end.
The school is very popular and heavily oversubscribed, with well over 1500 students applying for entry into Year 7 each year, competing for one of 210 places. Post 16, we are similarly oversubscribed with around 800 applications for one of approximately 225 places in year 12. The majority of our year 11 students continue into the sixth form and are joined by a number of similarly aspirant students from across the region.
We work in partnership with an extensive group of schools, including the Northern Grammar School Alliance (NGSA), and have a significant reputation both locally and nationally. This means we offer our staff opportunities to be involved in professional development on a larger scale and see it as a sign of our high quality when members of our community are promoted to posts elsewhere, or progress internally. As a result, all staff feel very privileged to work here and to work with our young people.
