Welcome to our web site and our school!
My name is Lorraine Barker and I am Principal of The Mirfield Free Grammar and Sixth Form.
Founded in 1667 we have a long established tradition of success and promote values such as respect, honesty, integrity, morality and courtesy. We are also a DCSF designated Technology College and a Foundation School. We embrace the new technologies to ensure that our students have the skills to equip them for life in the 21st century.
We are an outstanding school and achieved our highest GCSE results of 78% 5 A*-Cs this year and have been asked by the DCSF to apply for High Performing Specialist Status. Success breeds success and we are immensely proud of our academic achievements, our sporting prowess, our creative and performing arts and our Sixth Form. Extra curricular and community activities play an essential part of school life here too.
Enjoy browsing through our site, you are most welcome to make an appointment to visit us if you would like to learn more.
We're now a Leadership Partner School! With an Outstanding Ofsted report and results we were invited to apply to be a High Performing Specialist School (HPSS). We applied successfully to become a Leadership Partner School which recognises the leadership built into all year groups in the school as well as staff. We are also partnering other schools and organisations to develop their leadership.
