increasing number at Oxbridge.
Since the turn of the Century, 85 new Doctors and 138 new Medical

secondary education they received at WGGS.

Degrees in Government and Politics have been awarded to 50 of our
former students.

The Core Aim of Watford Grammar School for Girls is to be a centre of excellence
and achievement and to provide a wide spectrum of educational opportunities.
 "What makes the school outstanding is the focus on each girl as an individual and an almost relentless drive to ensure that everyone achieves her very best.
"The school sets challenging attainment targets, which are invariably
achieved, and sometimes exceeded, by the students.
"A very large majority of parents (84%) is extremely positive and
praises the Staff for their efforts in bringing out the best in each girl.
"The Staff provide a happy atmosphere where students develop into
confident and independent learners."
