Woodhouse Grove School

Woodhouse Grove School is a private school on the boarder on Bradford and Leeds, set in a beautiful stretch of greenbelt land on the banks of the River Aire.
Founded in 1812 by the Methodist Conference for the education of the sons of ministers, The Grove now welcomes pupils and staff of all denominations and none.
It is a school that values it roots and traditions but it is constantly changing to meet the demands of modern education. In recent years the school has grown (now 700 in the senior school from age 11) but it is still small enough for all pupils to be known well and to make their mark.
Academically this school has a great reputation with glowing OFSTED reports and strong A-​Level and GCSE results.
The school gives pupils tremendous scope to explore all areas of academic life as well as to try out a wide range of sporting & musical activities. It has some amazing modern sports facilities which are admired in the area. Their indoor training facilities are even used by the Bradford Bulls (who are a super league rugby league team). The school has a great sporting record in both Rugby and Cricket & in Netball and Tennis amongst many other sports.
On the arts side they have recently had a new theatre and a new music department built to house some wonderful facilities. The school has a very lively Arts community with a wide range of musical, theatrical and art activities running throughout the year. I personally benefited greatly from the excellent music tuition I received at the school.
I would not hesitate to recommend this school to anyone in the area looking for a private Day school, but also for anyone looking for a good boarding school as the school has excellent boarding facilities for both girls and boys. It was wonderful to live in such a friendly and supportive community and when you leave the school that continues through the Old Grovians association which is run enthusiastically by a committee of past pupils (old grovians). It’s a school you’ll be a part of for life.
