It was first established in 1905 under the name Pudsey and District Secondary School, meeting in Pudsey Town Hall until the school's first purpose-built building opened on Richardshaw Lane in 1911, with construction having started in mid-1909. The name changed to Pudsey Grammar School in 1944 and was known by this name until 1980 at which point the name changed to Pudsey Grangefield School. It was later given the status of a specialist college of Maths and Computing. In September 2021 the school changed its name back to Pudsey Grammar School.^[3]

The school's logo is the coat of arms of Pudsey, bearing the slogan "Be Just and Fear Not". The logo is built into the face of the original Grammar School Building; this Grade II listed building at the front of the old site has been converted into flats, and the rest of the site was demolished to make an open recreational area for the new building.^{[citation needed]}

The school has only had six Headteachers since 1911.^[4] On 21 September 2009, the school was visited by the Deputy Prime Minister, John Prescott.^[5] The school was also visited in 2010 by Labour leadership candidate and former Foreign Secretary David Miliband,^{[6][failed verification]} who described the new building as "a great monument to Labour government".^[7]

In April 2022 Pudsey Grammar School was named as part of the expansion of the Department for Education's national Behaviour Hubs programme as one of only 18 Lead Secondary schools nationally.^[8] This is in recognition of the school's 'exemplary behaviour culture'.^[9]
