Harrogate Ladies College is an independent boarding and day school for girls aged 10 to 18 years located in North Yorkshire, England. Harrogate Ladies College is a Church of England foundation. All the facilities are campus-based. They include rehearsal facilities, with dorms accommodating 1-6 girls, an indoor swimming pool, tennis courts, and others.

Accommodation is based in several of the boarding houses. They include Tower House, the 6th form boarding accommodation which is similar to a university hall of residence. In all the houses there are rooms for single or double occupancy together with TV lounges and tea/coffee making facilities.

History

In the 1880s the original Harrogate College was a boys' school. The need for a girls' school in the area soon became obvious, and this school was opened in 1893. Over the next years the newly opened girls' school flourished while the boys school died. In 1904 the girls' school moved into the present accommodation.

In 1939-1945, the school was evacuated to Swinton Park, and after the World War II moved back. Additional extensions that housed a library, a science block and a gymnasium were built later in 1950s. Later more building were constructed (Sports Hall in the 1980s, an Art Room, and a Highfield Prep School). Gradually houses on each side of Clarence Drive were acquired. Currently the grounds, playing field, tennis courts, houses and gardens occupy about 28 acres of the Duchy Estate.
