About Woodhouse Grove School
Situated in beautiful parkland between Leeds and Bradford, The Grove is one school with three parts and provides a first class all-round education for boys and girls, day pupils and boarders, from ages 11 to 18. Our preparatory school, Brontë House, lays excellent foundations for ages 5 to 11; whilst Ashdown Lodge, provides fully-flexible, year-round, full and part-time, pre-prep and nursery facilities for 2 – 5 year olds.
With 1100 pupils we are large enough to provide a full curriculum and wide range of activities under the guidance of well qualified teachers, but small enough for each pupil to be known individually and to make their mark. We offer continuity of learning from nursery to the threshold of university and career. Day pupils and boarders alike enjoy the extensive facilities and special atmosphere. We are a co-educational community, in which boys and girls can flourish, learning together and being prepared properly for the world beyond school.
Wherever a child’s ability lies, we will nurture and encourage its development. We seek to balance youthful idealism with a realistic sense of what is available and attainable.
Our purpose is expressed in the following aims:
• To develop the academic potential of each pupil, successfully and enjoyably
• To foster mature and caring behaviour and high standards
• To develop talents and skills whether physical, technical, social or artistic
We hope that our pupils will go into a world of opportunity with the confidence born of achievement in the range of activities open to them, and with the strength of character developed by their sustained exposure to challenges and experiences in a caring and secure setting.
Our traditional outlook reflects the school’s Christian values, our forward thinking combines with good facilities and a splendid environment to provide the best education for your child within a strong school community.
Visitors to Woodhouse Grove often comment on our friendly and purposeful atmosphere - we value that and hope you will too.
