Harrogate Ladies’ College to Transition to Coeducational School and Rebrand

Harrogate Ladies’ College, a respected girls’ school established in 1893, will become coeducational by September 2026 and change its name to Duchy College.

This shift is a strategic response to declining boarding numbers and increasing operational costs.

The school plans to admit boys gradually, beginning with Years 7 and 12.

Despite the change, leaders assure that the school will continue to uphold its nurturing atmosphere and commitment to personalised education.
