Our vision

Pudsey Grammar School is a truly inspirational and caring community of learning where everyone within it is developed and supported to achieve their very best. Our students leave with great resilience, excellent knowledge, skills and the cultural capital which allows them to lead a happy and fulfilling life.

A culture of excellence across the entire school captivates students and results in them exceeding the high expectations which the school has embedded in previous years.

Our values

Respect - we show respect for ourselves, others and for people who are different from us. We show respect for the building, our local and wider environments. We are mutually respectful, treating others the way we want to be treated ourselves.
Resilience - we have a clear self belief, determination and understand that making mistakes is a key part of learning. We know that the more effort we put in, the better we will become.
Integrity - we are trustworthy and honest, true to our word and take responsibility for our actions.
Compassion - we care and are considerate towards others. We value kindness, empathy and understanding and have a strong desire to make the world a better place.
Ambition - we value educational achievement, have high expectations of ourselves and aim to be the best person we can. No matter how good we are, we always strive for improvement.
