Harrogate High School is a secondary school in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, England. It has about 1,000 students on roll and approximately 85 full-time teaching staff. The school has been awarded specialist Sports College status.

History

The school was founded in 1973 as Harrogate Granby High School by the amalgamation of the previous Harrogate High School with Granby Park Secondary Modern School. Both schools had been founded in the 1960s, Granby Park by the amalgamation of New Park Secondary School and Starbeck Secondary School in 1964. Granby was dropped from the current school's name only in September 2005.

The new school took over the buildings and grounds of the neighbouring St. John Fisher Catholic High School (which had relocated to its current site in parkland on the south side of Harrogate), creating a 13 -hectare (32 acre) campus bounded by residential housing to the west, the Harrogate Line to the north, Kingsley Drive to the south, and Kingsley Road to the east. The first head of the new school was Mr. F. W. Kimber, previously head of the old Harrogate High School. At that time the school had over 2000 students on roll.

The school now has 1000 students on roll. Its [http://www.ofsted.gov.uk/portal/site/Internet/menuitem.7c7b38b14d870c7bb1890a01637046a0/?event=getReport&urn=121697&inspectionNumber=314085&providerCategoryID=8192&fileName=\school\121\s5_121697_20080609.xml 2008 Ofsted Inspection Report] found that the school is satisfactory with good capacity to improve. It also found that the extent to which learners make a positive contribution to the community, and adopt healthy lifestyles and safe practices, is good.

Harrogate Hockey Club, a club with a team in the National League of the English Hockey League (EHL) have a clubhouse and artificial pitch located within the boundaries of the school.
