Woodhouse Grove School Information

Woodhouse Grove School, and its preparatory junior school Brontë House, is an independent, coeducational, day and boarding public school and Sixth Form college in Apperley Bridge, Bradford, West Yorkshire, England for children aged between 3 and 18. 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. We have achieved excellent exam results at both A Level and GCSE. Our average A*-E pass rate is 97.2% with around a third of our pupils achieving ABB or better in their results at A Level. Additionally, 89% of the 2023 class achieved 5 or more passes at GCSE including English and Maths, with 35% achieving 6 or more high grades (7, 8, 9). Our existing sports facilities include a multi-use indoor sports hall, school Multigym, Aerobics Studio, Fitness Suite, Fencing Salle, Jubilee Pool, indoor and outdoor Cricket Nets, Netball Courts, Tennis Courts, 3 strip 1st XI Cricket Pitch and Athletics facilities. We are also very excited to announce that our covered all year-round Netball and Tennis courts will be completed and available to use by Spring 2024. The Davy block was purpose built in 2009 to house the Grove’s Performing Arts and links through to The McCarthy Theatre. It consists of a music recital room, drama studio, classrooms, a keyboard room, computer room, a recording studio and 12 practice rooms. The McCarthy Theatre provides an excellent multi-functional, flexible performance space for theatrical productions and musical events with seating for up to 230. A new additional Sixth Form building is due to be completed later this year and will be fully operational early in 2024. This will provide additional study space for individuals or small groups as well as Sixth Form classrooms and seminar rooms. In recent years the school has grown (now 750 in the senior school from age 11) but we are still small enough for all pupils to be known.
