"Room for Improvement"
While we have been pleased with the education our child has received at Harrogate Grammar School, there are some areas where we feel the school could improve. Communication with parents could be better, and we have experienced some issues with the sixth form admissions process. However, the teachers and the facilities are excellent and we are hopeful that these issues will be addressed.
