Validate –Proof of Age Card

This is a scheme organised through the Home Office via Hertfordshire County Council Trading Standards Office. The aim is to provide a Voluntary Proof of Age card to ensure that restricted goods are only sold to those old enough to purchase them. It also helps those that look younger to prove their age. There is information about the scheme at www.validateuk.co.uk

However it does need a current photo of the student, information on the student’s name & date of birth, all of which are validated by staff in the school. That information is then sent to Herts County Council, who send it securely to ‘Validate UK’ for card production.

We are taking current photos and collating this information with the aim of ordering cards for all of our year 12 students. If you do not want your daughter to participate in this scheme, then you can ‘OPT OUT’ by writing a letter to Miss Souley or Miss Conway confirming this, within the next 7 days.

Obviously it may be several weeks before the cards are produced, so they would be issued to the students later this term.

Lady’s Close House

Having looked carefully at the capital development needs of the school and the level of funding currently available to us, we now intend to focus our energy on restoring Lady's Close House.

This is the most historic building on the school site and is central to every girl's development at WGGS. Lady's Close is the Y7 base, where pupils have their own space and Form Rooms. The girls have special affection for the building because it represents the start of their careers at WGGS. The grand old house is also the home of the English Department.

The building is well over 100 years old and is in dire need of modernisation and refurbishment. We have ambitious plans to recapture the splendour and elegance of its history, while incorporating the technology and physical improvements that will bring Lady's Close House into the 21st century in appropriate WGGS style.
