Torquay Girls’ Grammar School is a girls’ 11 to 16 selective Single Academy Trust, with a mixed Sixth Form (16 to 18), located in Torquay, Devon.
Our status as a Single Academy Trust means that we have the freedom to implement a curriculum intent which focusses on the whole child: to equip students for a future in which they have the academic qualifications, character skills and self-esteem to make decisions that lead to long, happy and content lives.
Our school is founded on our core values which apply to our whole community: equality, open minded, kindness, collaboration, and well-being.
When Ofsted visited in November 2023, our hard work was recognised by achieving ‘Outstanding’ in every category of the Ofsted Framework. This is no mean feat, and we are incredibly proud of this achievement. Our academic results are consistently high - in the 2025 Sunday Times Schools Guide, we ranked 3rd in Devon and 99th nationally for academic results - which is true testament to the continued dedication from both our students and staff.
Our school is a place where students want to learn and there is a deeply engrained sense of belonging and identity to the school’s history, values and traditions. Staff and pupils fully embrace our House Culture and the opportunities for extra curricular activities and trips.
If you are starting your professional career or are coming with a wealth of experience, you would be joining a school which values every individual within our school community.
Please don’t hesitate to get in touch, we would love to hear from you!
