Academic Excellence
At WGHS we want our girls to achieve the best they possibly can, stretching each individual and adding value to their education.
Adaptable and exible, the WGHS curriculum prepares girls for the challenges and opportunities which lie ahead, through a broad range of academic experiences which deliver a wide- ranging set of values and skills suitable for the world in which they live.
Whilst we take into account the requirements of the National Curriculum, we are not restrained by following it to the letter.
Our curriculum is enriched by the emphasis placed on creativity and by offering additional subjects such as Latin.
Teaching groups range in size from around 24
in Year 7 to a maximum of 12 in Year 13, crucially allowing girls to be known and supported individually throughout their WGHS journey.
In the Sixth Form, girls have the opportunity to study subjects taught jointly with the boys at QEGS. This not only extends the possibilities for subject combinations but allows girls to experience mixed learning in preparation for university and the workplace.
