Pontefract and District Girls High School (aka Pontefract Girls' High School) was a grammar school for girls in Pontefract, West Yorkshire, England.[1][2]

The school on the site was originally built in the Victorian era as a slaughter house before being demolished. It was established in 1912 and closed when in 1987, Pontefract schools lost their sixth forms, with a sixth form college being established at NEW College, Pontefract on the same site. There was a centenary celebration in 2012.[3]

The school had its own magazine.[4]
