Welcome to Torquay Girls' Grammar School
We have been pioneers in providing outstanding education for over 100 years. Our track record speaks for itself, with the majority of students obtaining places at university or securing higher level degree apprenticeships. However, we are more than just an academic provider; student wellbeing and empowerment is at the heart of what we do and we are very excited that we are now opening this sixth form opportunity to boys too!You will be fully supported in all your endeavours and encouraged to fulfil your potential. We offer a diverse Sixth Form experience with opportunities to travel, lead, attend conferences, participate in the local community, whilst also making new friends over a coffee in the café. We are very proud of our students and what they achieve here. They not only succeed academically, they also develop confidence, independence, resilience, a strong social conscience and a can do mentality.So join us at TGGS and dare to accomplish something special.We look forward to meeting you very soon.Mrs E Gale

"Before joining Sixth Form, I had never been pushed to work at my full capacity. At TGGS, I have found that the commitment and passion of my subject teachers has been met with immense support and understanding, allowing me to reach my full potential. I feel very lucky to have been able to experience the community here; immediately after joining Sixth Form I felt at home, and I have met friends for life. TGGS has given me the skills and confidence I need to progress through my career. Joining this school was the best decision that I could have made."

"My time at TGGS gave me the tools and qualities to become one of the role models I looked up to, back in Year 7. There is no doubt that within TGGS, every student is inspired, enabled and challenged to achieve their maximum potential in all fields, not just in academics. My year as Head Girl taught me to be a confident, organised, problem solver. I had the pleasure to help organise multiple fundraising events - seeing my favourite teachers in a lip sync battle for Red Nose Day has to be one of my favourite memories. Throughout my TGGS journey, I have never felt unsupported in any aspect from both the teaching and pastoral staff. I have always been encouraged to put my best foot forward and I know I can go on to excel at university and at any other challenges in my future."
