Harrogate Ladies' College

Harrogate, North Yorkshire, Yorkshire and the Humber · HG1 2QG

Despite its historic name, Harrogate Ladies' College is now a co-educational independent school in the spa town of Harrogate, North Yorkshire. With around 232 pupils on roll, it is a small school, and that scale shapes its character: a close community with a Christian foundation and the option of boarding as well as day places. Day fees run from roughly £11,900 to £13,500 a year, while boarding rises to around £30,000. Entry begins at age 11, and the school follows the ISI inspection framework rather than Ofsted.

Teaching & academics

Recent published results sit below national benchmarks, with an Attainment 8 score of 28.6 against a national average of 46.9, and the data showing no pupils reaching grade 5 or above in English and Maths compared with a national figure of 47%. Families weighing these figures should view them alongside the school's small cohort, where year-on-year results can swing sharply on a handful of pupils. A direct conversation with the College about its current academic provision and recent outcomes would be worthwhile.
