- The senior school of Harrogate Ladies’ College is divided into four houses named after inspiring women: Austen, Franklin, Nightingale and Pankhurst.
- Pupils can get involved with more than 50 clubs and societies covering everything from sport and performing arts, to creative writing, business and languages. In 2023, the school launched its own dance company and will soon add football to its core sports programme. The recently refurbished performing arts centre, the Swinton Theatre, was funded by its alumni community and parents of current pupils.
- WiSE@HLC (Women in Science and Engineering at Harrogate Ladies' College) is an innovative programme designed to encourage students to consider Stem-related careers.
- The Flourish programme encompasses wellness, safeguarding, learning support and PSHE, in a joined-up programme. Each week a pastoral team meets to discuss the wellbeing of pupils. There is also a dedicated wellness centre and ambassadors for children and staff.
- Each year the school awards a small number of means-tested bursaries of up to 100 per cent of fees. Scholarships for students who demonstrate exceptional talent or potential in a particular field are also available.
