Head students Sophia and Chloe said: “We are so grateful to HGS for their support. We’re overwhelmed with the results and just went ecstatic!”
Olivia Wareham, headteacher at Huddersfield Grammar School, said: “We are immensely proud of our pupils and the GCSE results they have achieved this year.
“These outcomes are a testament to the hard work, commitment and determination shown by our students, supported every step of the way by the dedication and expertise of our teaching staff.
“Today, we celebrate every pupil and recognise that success takes many forms. While we are delighted by the outstanding achievements of those attaining the highest grades, we are equally proud of the pupils who have demonstrated resilience, individuality and self-belief in overcoming challenges and making progress on their individual journeys.
“These qualities embody the true Huddersfield Grammar School identity and values. Each pupil should be proud of what they have accomplished and the contribution they have made to our school community.
“As they move on to the next stage of their education and future careers, we wish them every success and happiness in the years ahead.
