OPEN EVENING - Wednesday 7th October
Please join us at our next Open Event to tour our wonderful school and meet with our inspiring teachers. Private tours are also available to suit your diary.
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.
August 2026 – Hipperholme Grammar School Celebrates GCSE Success Across All Abilities as Pass Rate Exceeds National Average
Students and staff at Hipperholme Grammar School are celebrating today following the publication of the latest GCSE examination results. The achievements reflect both high academic attainment at the top end and exceptional individual progress across the entire student body.
Demonstrating the strength of the school’s academic provision, Hipperholme Grammar achieved an overall pass rate of 88%, significantly outperforming the national average.
Modern Foreign Languages performed exceptionally well, with 71% of pupils taking a language securing top grades (9–7). Furthermore, optional subjects across the curriculum—including French, German, Art, and Food Preparation—achieved a flawless 100% pass rate.
Top Attainment and Individual Progress
Among the school’s top performers:
- Sophie Greenwood achieved an outstanding portfolio including 5 grade 9s, 3 grade 8s, 1 grade 7, and 1 grade 6.
- Aston Chiu produced an equally impressive set of results, securing 3 grade 9s, 5 grade 8s, 1 grade 7, and 1 grade 6.
As a small school welcoming a broad range of ability, Hipperholme Grammar equally celebrates the individual journey of every pupil. Notably, student Harry Wright made fantastic progress during his time at the school, leaving with good passes across all of his GCSE subjects.
Head of Foundation Mrs Weller commented
“We are immensely proud of all our pupils today. Hipperholme Grammar has always been dedicated to nurturing individual talents, whether that means pushing for top grade 9s or ensuring every student reaches their full personal potential. These results—especially our 100% pass rates in key optional subjects and outstanding performances in languages—reflect the hard work of our pupils and the dedicated support of our staff.”
