About Torquay Grammar School for Girls

Torquay Girls' Grammar School nurtures ambitious young women who are encouraged to become "history makers" and challenge expectations. The school combines rigorous academic standards with genuine care for pupils' wellbeing, creating supportive classrooms where girls develop confidence alongside scholarly excellence. Over half of sixth formers go on to study STEM subjects at university, supported by an impressive careers programme and work experience in specialist settings. Beyond the classroom, participation in activities is remarkably high — from drama productions to the Duke of Edinburgh's Award — while the established house system gives pupils meaningful leadership opportunities as they progress through the school.
