Harrogate Grammar School pride themselves on the wealth of extra-curricular opportunities available including music, drama, debating and sport.
We hear from Sixth Form students at Harrogate Grammar about extra-curricular activities at the school. Harrogate Grammar are holding a Virtual Open Event for their Sixth Form at 6pm on Thursday 12th November. If you're deciding on which school to attend for Sixth Form, it's important to make the right decision. That's why you'll want to look beyond the subjects and the curriculum, and look at new things you can try and passions you can explore through extra-curricular activities. Harrogate Grammar School pride themselves on the wealth of extra-curricular opportunities available for students inside and outside of school hours, including music lessons, Duke of Edinburgh, debating & public speaking and various sports.

"The community is something that you can really see through the extra curricular activities. I took part in the school show when I was in Year 7 and was really nervous about being the youngest there, looking at sixth formers in their suits, year 11's with different ties, but it was great that everyone was so nice. "I didn't feel like I was 12, I felt like I was part of the team."As a student who has attended Harrogate Grammar from the age of 11, Jacob chose to stay on for his Sixth Form studies, and told us how life at the school has differed as he has got older:
"The responsibility grows as you progress through the school and now I'm in the Sixth Form, the freedom was the standout thing for me. "What you can wear, what choices you can make, and as I started to grow up that's when I started to enjoy school, as it was what I actually wanted to do."[caption id="attachment_3116" align="alignnone" width="2118"] Matt Roberts, Year 13 student at Harrogate Grammar School.[/caption]
