Preparing or the challenges of adult life
For over 300 years, Watford Grammar School for Girls has served the children and the community of this part of Hertfordshire. Founded in 1704 by Mrs Elizabeth Fuller to provide for sixty children of Watford, the school taught girls to read, knit and sew; as well as to recite the Church of England catechism. Mrs Fuller's values - care, dedication, tolerance and service to others - were at the heart of school life then and remain so now.
In the next century, the School began to grow and to continue to develop the curriculum in line with the new Board Schools and the National and British Schools. Academic excellence became our key aim. Today Watford Grammar School for Girls caters for 1200 girls and continues this tradition, while preparing our pupils to meet the challenges of the new century.
From its outset, the school thrived, eventually moving from the original building (which still stands next to St. Mary's Churchyard) to new premises, now Central Primary School, during the 1880s. Numbers continued to increase and by 1902 the new buildings were, in their turn, overcrowded.
The school on the present site was built and occupied by 1907. By 1944, as a Voluntary Controlled school, we accepted girls from age 11 to age 18 years. The buildings were radically extended: the Science Laboratories and Main Hall in the 1950s, the Art, Craft and Modern Languages blocks in the 1960s, and the Drama Hall, named after a former Headmistress, the Tennet Hall, in the 1970s. Since then the Technology Area, the Modern Languages Laboratory and all Information Communications Technology rooms have been extended and re-equipped. Three more Science Laboratories and a Sports Hall have been added. The Sixth Form Study Centre and Creative Arts building was opened in October 2000.
We believe that Mrs Fuller's vision and values are just as relevant today. With the experience of nearly three hundred centuries of academic achievement, we are well qualified to maintain our reputation for excellence and to offer our pupils opportunities to obtain the qualifications and skills needed in a complex, technological and culturally varied society.

To be a centre of excellence and achievement and to provide a wide spectrum of educational opportunities.
To be a respected place of academic teaching where learning takes place in a caring, stimulating and supportive environment.
The ethos of the school is based on traditional academic excellence - all girls are expected to work hard and to develop to their full potential in all areas of the curriculum and in all aspects of school life.
The school should be a microcosm of what we would like society to be: a happy, caring collection of motivated and hardworking individuals, capable of living together harmoniously while recognising and respecting each other's differences.
Each girl should, while pursuing her own goals, never forget that service to others is of paramount importance.
Each girl should develop sound private study habits through regular homework. Involvement in study should become part of every girl's life so as to assist her in becoming a life-long learner.
Each girl will be well prepared for life in the twenty-first century where communication, helped by technological and multilingual skills, will play an increasingly important role.
To foster the academic excellence and personal development of each pupil in a caring, stimulating and challenging environment so that each pupil is able to achieve her full potential.
To promote high quality teaching and learning and to hold high expectations of each pupil both in terms of achievement and good behaviour.
To manage the school in ways which involve the whole staff in preserving and carrying forward the special character of Watford Grammar School for Girls, which is based on care and respect for every member of the school community.
To foster a close partnership between parents, girls, governors and our highly qualified and skilled staff.
To keep abreast of rapid changes through relevant information, up-to-date training and through finding imaginative solutions to the many challenges that the changes will bring.
To present the girls with role models that they may wish to emulate.

We pride ourselves on meeting the physical and mental needs of the girls through the guidance of the Form Tutors and the Heads of Year. The girls work in a supportive environment acquiring confidence to take decisions while showing respect for others and displaying high standards of behaviour.
Caring begins even before the girls join our school as we run a full induction programme. New girls and their parents come to the school together on a number of occasions. Girls are placed in form groups of 30 on entry to the school in Year 7. Each new Year 7 form meets on the induction afternoon, when time is spent with their prospective Form Tutor in their form room. We hold a special social event for the new Year 7 girls and parents. Year 7 girls have their special base - they register here and have some of their lessons away from the main school. This, we believe, helps the girls in the transition from their small primary schools to a school of this size.
Girls stay in the same form group from Year 7 to Year 11. Changes of Form Tutor are kept to a minimum. This helps to ensure continuity of care for each girl in a strong, supportive social group. Girls entering the Sixth Form are invited to an induction day in September.
As a general principle, Heads of Year also stay with their year group as they move through the school. There are Heads of Year 7 to 11, who are responsible for the well being of pupils in their years, lead the teams of Tutors, and themselves form a working group under the Deputy Head teacher responsible for pastoral care.
Another Deputy Head teacher, as Head of Sixth Form, supervises pastoral care for senior girls. There are two assistant Heads of Year for the Sixth Form, and tutor groups have about twenty students.
The expertise of outside support agencies, such as the Educational Welfare, School Support and Psychology Services, is used regularly and effectively.

We believe that successful education is a partnership between parents and the school. We are anxious to establish and maintain good communications with the home. Parents who are concerned about any aspect of their daughter's life in school are warmly invited to contact us. Letters should be addressed to the Form Tutor or telephone calls to the Head of Year. Parents may request a meeting with on of the Senior Team at any time.
All parents are invited to consult with staff about the progress of their daughter at least once a year. Invitations to the Parents' Consultations Evenings, which are held from 4-30pm until 6-30pm, are sent out well in advance. Each pupil will receive a full written report each year.
Further special evenings are held when parents need to be consulted on the next stage of their daughter's education and informed of the opportunities available.
A school calendar is issued every year which contains all these dates.

The Parents' Association, of which all parents are automatically members, provides a link between the school and the parents with the aim of promoting fellowship and raising funds to support the school in the provision of facilities not covered by the Department for Education and Employment.
Regular social activities organised by the Parents' Association include the Autumn Fair, Quiz Evenings, Fashion Shows, Dances and Discos.
New pupils will enjoy the facilities provided by previous generations of pupils and parents, and present pupils and parents will be encouraged to maintain the current level of facilities and to improve them where needed. In the past the Parents' Association has provided a minibus, computers, television and video equipment, language laboratory equipment, sports equipment, a photocopier and bicycle racks. More recently, lockers have been provided for every girl in order to safeguard her school work and equipment and her personal property. All aspects of the curriculum have benefited from the allocation of Parents' Association funds. The Association has also carried out building work and made improvements to the fabric of the school. Equipment for the Sports Hall, including refurbishment of changing rooms, and the Sixth Form Centre are the current projects.
Apart from attending social events, the most significant way for parents to contribute is by covenant. The Covenant Fund now provides approximately two thirds of Parents' Association income. A covenant is a simple, effective and tax efficient way of contributing those essential extras that go toward maintaining the quality of education provided by the school for your daughter.

All pupils in the first year receive one lesson a week with their Tutor in a course of Personal and Social Education. These lessons include induction into the school, health education, study skills and relationships - especially awareness and understanding of others both within the school and in the local community.
The PSE course continues through all years in the school with the emphasis changing to meet the changing needs of the pupils. Important social issues such as sex education, drugs, alcohol and smoking are covered at several stages and levels, and are linked closely with the Religious Studies course. The Study Skills programme develops the pupils' ability to cope with the demands of project work, revision, assessments and examinations, note taking, using resources effectively and time-management. The Relationships topic enables the class to discuss the importance of friendship and responsibilities towards others. Other skills and topics are included at appropriate times: for example, Careers Education and Guidance from Year 9 onwards and all aspects of university application, as well as "Coping at College", in the Sixth Form.
The course aims to help lay important foundations for future years, particularly in helping pupils deal competently with the complexity of the demands that are made of them, not only within school but also when they leave to take their places in society.

Sex Education forms a vital part of the education of all girls at Watford Grammar School for Girls. It seeks to provide education in personal development, human reproduction, relationships, responsible behaviour, moral values and sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV and Aids.
The topics are covered by a variety of lessons and subject. National Curriculum Science includes the compulsory lessons on the biological aspects of human sexual behaviour. Personal and Social Education, Home Economics and Religious Education provide teaching in other areas of Sex Education. This provision is fully co-ordinated to avoid duplication and to ensure all aspects are covered.
Puberty and adolescence, contraception and pregnancy, child care and development, marriage and the family, male and female roles and attitudes in society and in the home, morality in different cultures, and the influence of the mass media are all covered during a pupil's career at the school.
This summary is accurate and in line with current regulations. These also state that parents may request that their daughter does not receive anything other than the National Curriculum Science element of Sex Education. In such an exceptional case, parents should write to Mrs Hyde.

Religious Education is taught throughout the school and is also offered at GCSE and "A" Level.
The course aims to stimulate the girls' awareness of and interest in the religious dimension and experiences of life by combining and educational with an enjoyable approach in these lessons. By fostering tolerance and understanding of religious ways of life, we encourage and enable our pupils to live in and contribute positively to our multi-faith society in school and beyond. When pupils have considered the value that others have found in religious commitment, they will be better equipped to make their own decisions about religious and moral issues.
Skills taught include the gathering of knowledge and the ability to understand other people's viewpoints, while plenty of opportunity is given to explore and express personal opinions and evaluations.

It is the policy of the school that every pupil is expected to atttend assembly.
Morning assembly is non-denominational and non-sectarian, deals with religious, moral and social issues and is in line with the requirements of the Education Reform Act 1988. Most assemblies are taken by the Headmistress. Girls will attend assembly on at least three mornings a week, the other mornings being spent with the Form Tutor.

It is part of the ethos of our school that girls should be taught to think of those less fortunate than themselves. This concern for others and service to the community are shown in our support for charities and by our annual Christmas Party and Harvest Gifts for the senior citizens of Watford. Each class chooses a local, national or international charity to support each term and Form Charity Monitors organise a variety of activities to raise money. Weekly collections, sponsored walks, swims, cake sales and car washing are just some of the activities undertaken. In addition, whole school events contribute to the charities' fund. Recently the school has been raising in excess of £6000 each year.

Assessment
Homework
At Watford Grammar School for Girls we aim to realise the potential of the whole person. To do this we offer more than just the subjects of the National Curriculum. Being a large school with a correspondingly wide range of expertise among the staff, we are in the fortunate position of being able to include other elements which give additional breadth and balance.
On entry, the girls are normally grouped into six mixed-ability groups of 30 girls. From Year 8 they may be put into divisions for some subjects according to their proven ability. The majority of girls take two languages fromYear 8 (French, German or Latin).
Our School Curriculum is made up of:
- Religious Studies
- National Curriculum Core subjects: English, Mathematics, Science
- National Curriculum Foundation subjects: History, Geography, Technology, Music, Art, Physical Education and a Modern Language.
This requires the major part of the time avaliable. Personal and Social Education, Careers Education and Guidance and Infomation Technology are also incorporated into the curriculum.
At Key Stage 4, all pupils study English and English literature, Mathematics, Science and a modern foreign language, and choose three moreb subjects freely from the range of courses avaliable.

Teachers at this school are committed to developing the potential of all our pupils. Learning Support is available for girls of all abilities who need it, and we follow the provisions of the Code of Practicefor Special Educational Needs. Each subject provides relevant extension and enrichment to challenge very able girls in the classroom and as themes for home study. The extended curriculum and private study time provide additional oppotunites for able girls to explore a topic in more depth and to work more informally and individually with teachers.
We have high expectations of all our pupils. As teachers, we aim to challenge the most able girls to produce outstanding work and achievements. In return, we will meet the challenge these remarkable pupils offer us.
Further details about the curriculum in each year are avaliable from the school at any time.

Continuous assessment is carried out as part of the learning process together with formal testing during, and at the end of, courses. Internal examinations are held at least once a year with the results communicated to parents. Regular assessments are used to monitor the progress and standard of all the girls and to set realistic yet challenging targets for future attainment.
Back to Promoting Personal Excellence
Homework is a vital part of every pupil's academic development. It offers an important extension of learning time, the opportunity to review the day's lessons and time to consolidate new knowledge. Homework involves parents actively supporting their daughter's learning. We expect parents to be interested in their daughter's homework, to ensure it is done to a good standard, handed in on time, and to let us know if any problems occur.
Many pupils entering secondary school have no more than a vague idea of how to organise themselves to do homework. Homework and study skills are therefore a large part of the structured Personal and Social Education (PSE) programme. The aims initially are to help pupils understand why homework is so important to the learning process, to establish sound study skills and the necessity for neat presentation. As pupils progress through the school the PSE programme will guide them through effective time management, and sophisticated study and revision techniques, towards becoming life-long learning.
Teachers will mark homework promptly and return it to the girls with positive comments which recognise their achievements and help them make further improvements.
In addition, special support and training are given to pupils at key progression points in their school careers: on entry in Year 7, before examinations, at the start of GCSE courses in Year 10 and on entry into the Sixth Form. This support helps pupils learn to organise their time and resources to complete successfully the various homework tasks which they will be asked to carry out during their courses of study.
Guideline for homework allocated to pupils in each year:
- Year 7 1 hour 30 minutes per evening
- Year 8 1 hour 30 minutes at least per evening
- Year 9 2 hours per evening
- Years 10 and 11 2 hours per week per subject
- The Sixth Form a minimum of 6 hours per week per subject
We place great emphasis on reading. It is the foundation of all study, and a great source of life-long pleasure. Pupils who read regularly for their own enjoyment invariably do well at school. For this reason, we expect girls to read every day and to occupy any 'spare' homework time in this way.
Homework encourages pupils to develop the skills, confidence and motivation needed to study effectively as students in full time education and later as life-long learners.

Sport
Music
Drama
Personal achievement and excellence are recognized in many aspects of life at Watford Grammar School for Girls. Sport, music and drama play a vital role in developing the confidence and capabilities of our pupils.
Always around the school buildings, there are displays and exhibitions of girls' work in all subjects. Each year, special events emphasise our public examination candidates' talents in design, manufacture and the creative arts.
Participation in sporting activities is of central importance to our pupils' health, fitness and enjoyment of school. Physical Education is an essential and compulsory element of the curriculum throughout the school and can be studied in more depth as a GCSE option subject. The extended curriculum offers girls further opportunities to improve skills and to enjoy taking part in competitive or recreational sport.
We aim to give pupils an understanding of the part physical activity plays in health education. Taking part in sport will develop a pupil's mental acuity and her co-ordination skills, both as an individual and as a team member. A sense of fair play, integrity and self-discipline will also be instilled. Equal importance is given to the enjoyment of doing your best at any level and to competitive sport. Consistently good performance is recognised by the award of school colours. Above all, we encourage the girls to enjoy physical and sporting activities and to continue this as adults.
The school has two playing fields, an indoor heated swimming pool, tennis and netball courts, a fully equipped gymnasium, use of two general-purpose halls and the sports hall, which was completed in 1997. Girls have the opportunity to take part in the following activities: hockey, netball, swimming, gymnastics, dance, athletics, tennis, rounders, volleyball, basketball, trampolining, aerobics, football and fitness. In the Sixth Form, squash, self-defence, weight training and golf are added to the range of activities available. Sporting links have been forged with our neighbours Watford Town FC and Saracens RFC, and with a local special school for swimming lessons.
School teams take part in district leagues, galas and tournaments in hockey, netball, tennis, athletics and swimming. Our teams are successful across the age groups. In addition, there are regular matches against other schools in volleyball and rounders. In athletics, pupils participate in the County League as part of a team and in the Individual County Championships. The school has girls currently in hockey, netball and swimming teams at District and County levels.

The school's high musical standard is a source of pride and our musicians thoroughly deserve their reputation for sustained excellence. Music is taught throughout the school using a practical approach, with theory taught in a relevant way. There are thriving groups at GCSE and at Advanced Level. Many of our musicians have gone on to study music at University or Music College and have become fine professional musicians.
Music plays a central part in the life of the school both within the curriculum and outside classroom hours. Every girl is encouraged to take part fully. The extended musical activities give every girl an outstanding opportunity for music making at all levels. The school has two Orchestras, a Big Band, two Choirs, Chamber Music groups, two Recorder Ensembles, a Guitar group and a Brass group. There is a Joint Orchestra with Watford Grammar School for Boys for older pupils and many other musical occasions and productions.
Over 300 girls receive private tuition at school from our visiting team of teachers on the majority of orchestral instruments, piano, guitar, drum kit, percussion and singing. Concerts are given termly in the main hall and in addition to these we hold GCSE composition concerts, chamber music concerts and other performances, to all of which parents are always welcome, and sometimes invited to participate.
Back to Excelling through Sport and the Arts
Girls are involved in drama from the start of Year 7 and it forms an important element of the English syllabus throughout the school. Other subjects make effective use of drama as a teaching method. Forms regularly compose and perform scenes on a wide variety of themes at Year Assemblies.
Drama clubs, offered as part of the extended curriculum, involve many girls in each year. These popular clubs are run by members of the Lower Sixth, under teacher supervision. The termly drama festivals and other school productions give all pupils the opportunity to perform or to help backstage; these events sometimes include pupils from the Boys' Grammar School.
In the Lower Sixth, girls have the opportunity to follow a Drama Interest Course, which is timetabled for two periods weekly. This course offers practical drama, the studying of scripts and include several visits to the theatre.

Extended-Curricular Activities
We aim to send young women out into the world not only well informed but also able to get the most out of life. The school motto is Sperate Parati - Go forward with preparation. At Watford Grammar School for Girls, we place great importance on encouraging pupils to pursue their interests and to become fully involved in the wide range of activities at the school. We regard these activities as part of our extended curriculum - not as extras: taking part is what allows each pupil to achieve her full potential and to prepare herself for life as an adult.
There is an abundance of lunchtime clubs and activities that strengthen the girls' varied interests and talents (see the programme included in the booklet of additional information). Our pupils develop confidence and self-esteem and a range of abilities from first aid to public speaking.
We organize foreign exchanges each year with France, Germany and Italy; there is an opportunity to go on any of a range of trips, including skiing, outdoor pursuits, field trips and study visits to lectures, museums, theatres and galleries in this country and abroad. The Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme is very popular, with over 100 girls taking part. Every two years a World Challenge Expedition is mounted to a developing country: so far our girls have worked in Venezuela, Nepal, Morocco, Turkey and Tanzania.
Girls are encouraged to take responsibility for themselves and their peers by following the School Code, which the pupils helped to compose. Each form chooses two Form Leaders and two Charity Monitors each term, and two members of the Year Council, which meets to put forward constructive suggestions about the school.

More than three quarters of our Year 11 girls choose to join the Sixth Form. Places are also available to pupils from other schools. There is an entry requirement for the Sixth Form, which is published well in advance to pupils in Key Stage 4 and to all external applicants.
We provide expert teaching in a number of AS and A2 Level subjects. Progress is monitored carefully and remedial or extension work is used when necessary. Girls can achieve additional qualifications through the Young Enterprise Scheme, Understanding Industry and the Community Sports Leader Award. All girls follow a non-examined General Studies course, sometimes in joint exercises with the pupils from the boys' School, and continue Physical Education, though with a wider choice of activities. Outstanding students are prepared for Special Papers and all girls are guided toward the appropriate higher education course, and advised carefully on their options on leaving school.
Every girl entering the Sixth Form knows that to do so is to accept active responsibility for younger pupils and to uphold the reputation of the school. The Sixth Form also reflects the ethos of the school. Uniform is worn and each girl signs a contract not only to uphold the traditions and standards of Watford Grammar School for Girls, but also to work at her studies to the best of her abilities. Sixth Formers contribute their time and effort to the school in many ways: they provide a supportive listening service for Year 7 girls; members of the Lower Sixth tutor junior pupils; many lunchtime activities are run by members of staff assisted by Sixth Form Girls.
Into The Future is the name of a special day for members of the Lower Sixth. After considerable preparation and training, each girl has a series of interviews from tutors in higher education, and personnel from the professions, industry and commerce. Interviewers provide evaluations of each girl's performance so that her confidence, personal presentation and communication skills are boosted prior to genuine interviews in the Upper Sixth. It is a huge school event which sums up our ethos, our motto and our determination to foster the academic excellence and personal development of each pupil in a caring, stimulating and challenging environment.
The Head Girl and her three Deputies lead a team of Upper Sixth Prefects who make a significant contribution not only to the smooth daily running of the school, but also to the care and guidance of younger girls. Prefects undergo training sessions conducted by the Headmistress and the Head of Sixth Form before their final year at school.
Back to Preparing for the challenges of adult life
Careers Education and Guidance are incorporated into the PSE Course, beginning in Year 9 when pupils are helped to make informed choices of GCSE subjects at 14+. A Profile is set up on which a record of interests, skills and achievements is made. This is developed in Years 10 and 11. Pupils are encouraged to familiarise themselves with the extensive resources in the library, which include books, other literature, videos and regularly updated computer facilities. The programme is supported by the Watford Careers Service.
Work Based Learning takes place for one week during the Autumn Term of Year 11. The main aim of this is to help the girls develop qualities and skills which will enhance their career prospects. Preparation for this includes selection, application and interview, plus a variety of work related topics such as Health and Safety. A complete record of the experience is written. Pupils are visited at work and discussions afterwards help to evaluate their learning. The pupils take full responsibility for their travel and interview arrangements. Placements are chosen from a database supplied by Work Wise.
In Year 11 a full programme of Options at 16+ is offered to include colleges, our own Sixth Form and courses available at other schools, and job opportunities. Interviews with Careers Advisor are arranged for all the girls.
Pupils who stay into the Sixth Form are given continuous guidance on applications for Higher Education and practice interview opportunities are available through Into the Future and whenever needed. Further interviews with Careers Advisors take place. Over 90% of the Upper Sixth proceed into Higher Education; in the Additional Information Booklet there is a list of recent university places achieved by our students.

A wide range of activities is offered to the girls outside the main curriculum. This allows the girls to develop and strengthen their varied interests and talents. Girls are expected and encouraged to take part in at least 3 activities each week. These will change from term to term, and a typical weekly programme is included in the Additional Information and can be found on this site as well.
Physical Education:
Athletics, swimming, basketball, tennis, dance, trampolining, cross-country, rounders, volleyball, netball, hockey, badminton, gymnastics, team practices and matches.
All extended curriculum music activities take place as features of Music Live. Concerts are given termly in the main hall. We hold GCSE composition concerts, chamber music concerts and special large-scale performances to which parents and friends are always welcome.
Music Live:
Big Band, first and second orchestra, Joint Symphony Orchestra (with Watford Grammar School for Boys), junior and senior choir, recorder groups, pop group, chamber music ensemble, wind band, and any number of impromptu arrangements.
Other elements of the extended curriculum include Science, Mathematics, Classics and Modern Languages Clubs, in addition to various Technology activities. Over 200 girls are actively following the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme through the school. A major musical or drama production, concerts and carol services are held every year.
Further extensions to the curriculum are provided through the subjects being studied. Exchange visits are held annually with Germany, France and Italy. Junior and Senior ski trips. Sailing parties and cultural and study tours to Greece, Italy, Israel, Egypt and China have been arranged by the school. One-day excursions to local places of interest, museums, galleries, and theatres are organized by departments, as are field tips in Biology and Geography. The Young Engineers Scheme and understanding Industry provide further opportunities for senior girls. The Young Enterprise scheme enables Lower Sixth students to form and run their own companies. Recently our companies have won regional awards recognizing their successes.
