Overview
Overview
Three connected sections give Bradford Grammar School its shape: Junior, Senior and Sixth Form. Heritage, aspiration and care sit alongside academic, sporting and creative opportunities, with pupils' happiness treated as part of the school's purpose rather than an afterthought.
The Junior curriculum begins broadly with English, mathematics, humanities, science, art, music, design technology, computing, religious studies, modern foreign languages, PE and PSHE. Specialist teaching supports that range, while the Senior curriculum is modern and flexible, with dedicated GCSE and Sixth Form subject guides. The structure allows a pupil's interests to develop as the school moves from general foundations to later choices.
Outdoor exploration is a notable part of Junior life. Nature club, STEM, bushcraft and gardening sit alongside wider programmes in sport, music, drama and art. Pastoral care runs through all three sections, linking academic work with individual interests and future choices rather than treating co-curricular activity as separate from progress.
Admissions are assessment-led. Families visit, submit an online application and pay the £75 charge before an assessment day with age-appropriate papers. Successful Year 7 candidates receive a taster-day invitation, while Junior, Senior and Sixth Form registrations follow separate routes. Applications for September 2027/28 open on 1 September 2026, so the intended phase and date matter.
