Huddersfield Grammar School has a personalised approach to teaching and learning, ensuring our children are challenged every day to progress and meet their unique potential. At Nursery age, the fantastic Kindergarten teachers and support staff promote play-based learning, making education fun and engaging for your children. As they progress through to Reception, more structured timetables are introduced, allowing children to start to build a rounded view of what their education will be like moving forwards into Pre-Preparatory.

Encouraging exploration and development. Children in the Reception year benefit from an enhanced education with a focus on Literacy and Mathematics, plus plenty of expressive Arts and Design projects. We provide a nurturing learning environment to enable our pupils to be prepared for a very successful schooling experience.
Pre-Preparatory
The teachers deliver an enhanced version of the National Curriculum. Class sizes of no more than 20 ensure that we can monitor the progress of each child in the class. Reading, Writing and Mathematics have a high priority in the Pre-Preparatory, ensuring a sound foundation in these essential core subjects. Information Technology is integrated into the curriculum from the beginning and all children learn the skills needed to use computers effectively. Great emphasis is also placed on the social development of each individual. At the beginning of each term, Pre-Preparatory parents are provided with a detailed Curriculum Map that outlines the Programme of Study.
Preparatory
Although they have adopted the National Curriculum, they are not totally bound by it, so have the freedom to introduce a wide range of subjects. In Preparatory School, each pupil is provided with their own personal laptop device for use in school and at home. Pupils use a number of learning applications to support and enhance their education, such as Century Tech, Times Tables Rock Stars Learning by Questions and Languagenut.
