Ria

Year 7

I wanted to come to Watford Grammar School for Girls because of the excellent exam results that pupils achieve; the great opportunities available and the exciting extracurricular clubs, such as, trampolining, LAMDA and the school plays.

This school has built my confidence and shown me how to work within a team to share ideas with others and achieve my goals.

Year 8

I am passionate about sport so I chose to come to Watford Girls because I had heard about all of the excellent sports facilities available here.

In my opinion, the best thing about the school is the welcoming community we have. Everyone here is so lovely and caring.

Kinaari

Year 10

When I came to the open evening for the first time the school immediately appealed to me and I knew this is where I wanted to come to secondary school.

I believe that Watford Girls has equipped me with a great deal of skills, many of which I will use during my whole life.

Sasha

Year 12

I chose to come to Watford Girls because of the wide range of subjects offered at A-level - the school has really allowed me to explore my academic interests.

I have enjoyed getting to explore my chosen A-level subjects in greater depth and really pushing myself academically.
