The Grammar School At Leeds

The Grammar School at Leeds (GSAL) is a leading independent school for boys and girls aged three to 18. Our campus is a greenfield site at Alwoodley Gates in north Leeds, well-placed for families from across North and West Yorkshire. Under our ‘diamond model’ structure, children learn in single sex classes from ages 11 to 16, while benefiting from shared form time and co-curricular activities. In 2020 90% of A-level grades awarded to GSAL students were at A* to B and 94% of leavers progressed to higher education. 74% of GCSE grades were at 7 or above. With employers looking for specific skills and attributes as well as knowledge of the business world, we support our pupils’ personal development and team working through a wide range of enhancement opportunities. Pupils undertake work experience in Year 11, whilst our sixth form students participate in our Aspire programme, including voluntary work and taught courses, alongside their A-level studies to prepare them for life after school. They can take part in the Leeds Enterprise Advisory Programme (LEAP). Many activities are student driven to provide leadership opportunities. The Extended Project Qualification enables pupils to develop research skills and self-motivation. With 2,100 pupils and 375 staff, we are a major employer and a significant local business with a turnover of over £24 million. We invest over £1m a year in bursaries to support pupils from a wide range of backgrounds. The GSAL Business Networking Group is a forum for our parents and associates, whether self-employed or working in SMEs, industry or the professions, to share ideas and build contacts.

The strength and diversity of the region’s economy contributes to GSAL’s success, and we are proud of our role in developing talented young people who will ensure that our region continues to thrive.
