About Prince Henry's Grammar School
Prince Henry’s has a well-deserved reputation for high standards and excellence dating back to its Royal Charter of 1607 when the core values of hard work, discipline, high achievement and ‘virtue’ were first established.
As a popular and highly successful comprehensive school with over 1660 students, including around 320 in the Sixth Form, we continue to deliver outstanding education to young people. Such high standards really matter to us – in both the academic and the broadest sense. This is why a visit to our school reveals exemplary standards of student dress, behaviour, learning and achievement – evident each and every day. At Prince Henry’s, we prepare students of all abilities for success, investing time to develop the creativity, confidence, resilience and ICT skills of all members of our community. We value each and every one of our students and they are at the very centre of all that we do. By recognising their unique needs and aspirations, ensuring equality of opportunity and a caring environment, all our students are able to flourish and achieve their best. This is why we are consistently one of the very top performing schools in Leeds and one of the “Top 100” best performing non-selective secondary schools across the country.
The governors and staff at Prince Henry’s are committed to providing our students with an education that supports not only their academic achievement, but also their personal development and well-being. The very wide range of enrichment activities available is evidence of this. We also use our heritage as a Specialist Language College to ensure all members of the school community appreciate the richness and diversity of the world and have a clear understanding of their rights and responsibilities as citizens of the global community.
As part of The Collaborative Learning Trust, we place children at the very centre of everything that we do. We believe that the provision of key central services by the Trust enables the school to focus even more on providing an outstanding school experience for children and young people. The Trust’s vision for outstanding, inclusive, nursery to 19 education can only be achieved by building strong partnerships and sharing expertise.
