Bradford Girls' Grammar School is a free school for girls aged 5 – 16 and boys aged 5 – 11. Founded in 1875, the school is on the outskirts of Bradford city centre in West Yorkshire, England. Recent public examination results put the school top in Bradford and among the top three in Yorkshire. Bradford Girls has a debating society, which Barbara Castle attended when at the school.

Previously a private school, it became a free school in 2013, and no longer charges for admission.^[1]

An outline history of the school, with photographs, is available on the BGGS website.^[2] For many years, the school publication was known as The Chronicle. The school celebrated its centenary in 1975.
