I wanted to come to Watford Grammar School for Girls because of the amazing exam results and achievements, and the facilities like the swimming pool.

The highlights to my school life so far was probably the year 7 hockey tournament I competed in, or the gymnastics competition I took part in. The people at the school are so encouraging and this has helped me build up my confidence and make lots of friends.

What makes me so proud to be a Watford Girl is the heritage of the school. Lady Elizabeth Fuller, starting with such a small building and a fiery determination to make women educated, created a huge secondary school with a legacy for taking in young women, each on their journey to success, and leaving them fully educated, witty and strong, ready for any challenge that comes their way. The rich legacy has fascinated and inspired me to be part of the school community which over the years has given successful, high achievers to society.

A few of the highlights of my wonderful time at WGGS are getting ‘excellents’ and making friends. Getting excellence feels like winning an award, like merits in primary school excellence is a delightful thing that makes me feel so special and well-achieved, especially after getting 10 – and a sticker from the headmistress! Making friends is also a magical thing. Now I have friends in school, familiar faces to talk to, I look back on myself on the first day at school and laugh at the shy, anxious face I used to have.

One of the best parts of going to Watford Girls is how many people you socialise with every day, you are always talking to different people in your year. I’ve had so many opportunities from the school to take part in courses to do with all kinds of careers; medicine, psychology, criminology and law, and so many more. I’ve also loved how many clubs there are available to everybody, as well as all the many Charity events at lunch times.

Being a Watford Girl, to me, is achieving the best academically, and as we are pushed to our very best every day at school, I can definitely say that I am constantly reaching my best. I’m also proud to be part of a school with a motto of ‘I can do it and I will do it’ as it inspires you, from the very beginning of year 7, to achieve a lot.

I am proud to call myself a Watford Girl because of the respected reputation that is associated with WGGS. Furthermore, it allows me to represent a diverse and fun community, accepting of all people no matter their heritage, religion, or beliefs.

The amazing atmosphere and engaging students really attracted me to the school in addition to the wide range of facilities and inclusive extracurricular activities. The key highlights of my school life so far have been achieving academic results I can be proud of, as well as making long-lasting and supportive friendships which continue to make my time at WGGS fun and enjoyable.
