Welcome to Watford Grammar School for Girls.

 

My name is Keya, and I joined the school in Year 7. I still remember visiting Watford Girls for the first time for an open day and being absolutely fascinated by the bridges! The school seemed so big then, all the students seemed so much older, and everything felt so complicated, unfamiliar, and even a bit scary.

Now, as I am about to begin my final year at the school, I can genuinely say that it has been a wonderful journey going from an awestruck ten-year-old to a confident Watford girl, ready to go out and achieve everything I am aiming for and tackle any obstacles that are thrown my way.

Over the past six years, I have collected countless memorable experiences, knowledge and skills. I’ve come to see the results of my efforts, enjoyed the fun and laughter of friendships, felt the warm support of my teachers, discovered my strengths and shortcomings, and so much more.

Watford Girls now feels like home.

The school pushes you to work hard, to think hard, to enjoy learning. Whether you are doing cool science experiments, coding your own websites, intensely debating books, competing in inter-form sports competitions, sculpting or designing new creations or singing your heart out on stage in the school musical. You are always surrounded by people who want you to and believe that you will succeed.

Here you are supported as a whole person – by staff who truly care and classmates who become your closest friends. From check-ins with your form tutor to encouraging discussions with subject teachers, you always feel seen and valued. There are so many clubs and societies – from Formula One Club to Bollywood Dance Club, Medical Society to Debate Club, and many, many more – majority started and run by the students. Everyone has a space to express themselves, discover new passions and strengths, and find their people.

Vibrant and full of life, ours is a truly diverse school that always resonates with its ‘can-do and will-do’ spirit.

Whatever you dream of doing, this is a brilliant place to start.

I can’t wait to see how your journey begins!

 

Warmest wishes,
Keya
