Open morning at top ten Harrogate Ladies’ College for 2025 admissions – register now
Prestigious Harrogate Ladies’ College, which was one of the first all-girls’ schools to open in the country over 130 years ago, is holding an open morning for new parents and pupils.
Event registration is open now for tours of its family of schools, which offer a full range of pre-school, prep and college education for two to 18-year-olds.
Whilst proud of its heritage, Harrogate Ladies’ College has now firmly set its sights on educating the women of tomorrow.
Principal Sylvia Brett is on a personal mission to encourage more girls to opt for Science subjects in their GCSEs, A-levels and university courses and a good range of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Maths) choices are available.
As a leading independent girls’ senior school, the ethos follows the benefits of a girls-only senior school education because research suggests that girls and boys learn differently, and so the school adapts its teaching methods to suit their needs.
A school where pupils flourish
As a forward-thinking, modern school, Harrogate Ladies’ College also puts its pupils’ wellbeing at the heart of everything it does.
It take pride in offering small class sizes and has recently built a new wellness centre on site, which is operated by a full-time team to provide the best possible care for both physical fitness and wellbeing.
There is also an impressive swimming pool and multi-gym, as well as over 50 extra-curricular clubs and activities for pupils to enjoy. A programme for weekend trips is also provided for boarders.
The school’s health and wellbeing programme Flourish is embedded firmly in its roots. It includes a wellbeing app for all pupils, encouragement for students to regularly record how they are feeling and coping strategies to support them.
Sylvia explained: “The underlying philosophy is we want our pupils to be happy and well-adjusted because happy and well-adjusted pupils will perform better academically.”
