Our junior pupils are prepared for any 11+ examinations both at maintained and independent schools, although the majority choose to transition into our Year 7.
In the past year pupils have been offered places at Heckmondwike Grammar, Crossley Heath, North Halifax and Bradford Grammar Schools, as well as many being awarded academic scholarships as they transition into our Year 7.
Hipperholme Grammar school is delighted to report some fantastic achievements by its Year 11 students in their GCSEs this summer. We are a small school with a broad range of ability; at the top end star performer Lisa Ovie achieved an impressive 8 grades 7-9. Also earning a string of top grades were Alyssa White, James Thirkell, Ethan Cockcroft-Smith, and Evan Brady. The school is equally proud of George Whyte, who was delighted to pass every GCSE he sat with flying colours, and Yuliia Albut who gained a grade 9 in Russian and grade 7 in Art after joining us from Ukraine in 2022.
HGS is celebrating all its students’ results: over a quarter of all grades awarded were at 7, 8 or 9, above the national average. 91% of all our grades were 4 or above, exceeding the national average of 67% by a significant margin.
Nicholas James, Head of Foundation, said: “All our year 11 students can be proud of their achievements, whether achieving top grades or securing their place at their chosen destination. I’m very grateful to our teaching staff for their hard work and expertise in supporting our students through their GCSEs.”
