Hipperholme Grammar School

Hipperholme Grammar School is a private grammar school in Hipperholme (near Halifax), West Yorkshire, England. It educates pupils between the ages of 3 and 16.

Lightcliffe Preparatory School merged with Hipperholme Grammar School in 2003, under the Hipperholme Grammar Schools Foundation, and was subsequently renamed as Hipperholme Grammar Junior School.

In 1648 (the date the school classes as its founding year) Matthew Broadley, paymaster to Charles I, endowed a large sum of money to build a school on land donated by Samuel Sunderland of Coley Hall; the school opened on its current site in 1661. Two of the current school houses, Broadley and Sunderland, are named after the founders.

In 1783 a new school hall was constructed. Originally an all-boys school, it became private (ISA, AGBIS) in the 1980s and began admitting girls at the same time.
