Some of our School's Achievements

Each girl will be well prepared for life in the twenty-first century where communication, assisted by technological and multilingual expertise, will play an increasingly important role.

More than 90% of our Sixth Formers go on to Higher Education, an increasing number at Oxbridge.

Since the turn of the Century, 85 new Doctors and 138 new Medical and Scientific Researchers owe their success in part to the excellent secondary education they received at WGGS.

We can account for over 50 Maths and Engineering and over 70 Business Graduates and numbers in both continue to increase.

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

50 girls went on from WGGS to study and graduate in Law.

• The second consecutive inspection to find no aspect of the school in need of significant action
• One of only five de Bono Training Schools in England (the only secondary school)
• The first school in UK to be accredited by the University of Exeter as a Thinking School.

We foster the academic excellence and personal development of each pupil in a caring, stimulating and challenging environment so that she is able to achieve her full potential.

Over £15000 is raised for local, national and international charities by the girls and staff every year.

100 girls are currently working towards the Duke of Edinburgh Award: 40 Bronze, 40 Silver, 20 Gold.

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."

We have shown you a snapshot of what we do for our girls to help them become Tomorrow's Leaders.

Improvement is at the heart of the school, every aspect, every level.

We are currently teaching 21st Century Maths to the next generation of 21st Century Leaders in a building designed in the 19th Century and built 100 years ago.

Tomorrows leaders need facilities to match their potential.Find out more...
