Old Bradfordians

Bradford Grammar School pupils have gone on to achieve great things.

From trail-blazing artist David Hockney and Chancellor of the Exchequer Denis Healey, to Olympic champions Alistair and Jonny Brownlee and Team GB Performance Analyst Dr Deborah Sides, we are proud of the achievements of our community.

Former pupils, known as Old Bradfordians (OBs), maintain close links with the School, returning for reunions, careers networking activities, and acting as mentors for current pupils.
