Tadcaster Grammar School is a thriving, successful and energetic place with a very unique ‘family’ feel.  We pride ourselves in knowing our students really well, and our caring and nurturing ethos ensures every student feels safe, secure and happy.

The school enjoys an excellent reputation and attracts a large number of students from outside the official catchment area.  Currently, students attend from over 40 primary schools in North Yorkshire, City of York and Leeds education authorities.

The learning environment we offer our students is of a high quality.  All subjects are housed in suites of specialist rooms.  Over forty classrooms are complemented by Science laboratories and specialist bases for Art, Design and Technology, Food and Nutrition, Textile Technology, Music, Careers and Learning Support.  The sports facilities within our very extensive grounds include two gymnasiums, seven tennis courts, many hockey, soccer and rugby pitches, cricket squares, a hard-surface athletics track and a full size floodlit artificial pitch.  We have a total of nearly 70 acres.

We are committed to:

• Promoting equality of opportunity for each student;

• Assisting each student, through hard work, commitment and self-discipline to achieve the highest standards of work of which they are capable;

• Helping each student to develop a lively enquiring mind, the confident to question, and the ability to debate rationally;

• Ensuring each student acquires knowledge, skills and training relevant to the world of work;

• Enabling each student to receive challenging, stimulating, worthwhile and enjoyable experiences;

• Making sure all students recognise their personal strengths and set their goals accordingly;

• Developing within each student an understanding of fundamental British Values.
