Gateways is a small, highly successful independent day school for boys and girls aged 2-18 years situated in Harewood village, north of Leeds.

We believe in the numerous benefits that come with our size;  investment into keeping class sizes small, our subject offering wide and our facilities up to date is of paramount importance.

In our Prep School, the maximum class size is 18.  By being part of a whole school campus, our pupils have regular use of our fantastic school facilities, including a theatre, sports hall, dance and drama studio. In addition to this we have recently added a Prep art studio and a covered outdoor learning space.

We are proud to be regularly placed in the top ten schools nationally for Value Added. The reason for this is simple – small class sizes and a focus on the individual. This is further demonstrated in our examination results; in 2022, almost half of all GSCE grades were at grade 7 and above and 26% of all A Levels were awarded at A* grade.

At Gateways every child is known and thrives as a result.

Harrogate Ladies’ College is a leading independent day and boarding school for girls aged 2-18, located in the Duchy area of Harrogate.

We have been educating inspirational women for nearly 130 years and we aim to inspire the next generation of women to be brave, bold, challenge perceptions and to know that anything is possible with hard work, determination and perseverance. The size of our family of schools means that we know all of our pupils as individuals, the way their parents know them; this enables us to work with them and challenge them to achieve more both inside and outside of the classroom.

Our pupils achieve excellent exam results at both GCSE and A level with particularly high grades in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) subjects. Outside of the classroom there are many opportunities for pupils to excel in a wide range of specialist fields including Sports, Drama and Music. With over 50+ extra-curricular clubs and societies (many pupil-led) there is always something new to try.

We offer a range of weekly, flexible and occasional boarding options and comprehensive school transport covering a wide geographical area around Leeds and Wetherby.

Rated Excellent in All areas by the Independent Schools Inspectorate in their last inspection report, Harrogate Ladies’ College has been named a finalist for the annual Girls’ School of the Year award.
