A glimpse at life at Withington

We’re frequently asked what a typical Withington girl is like but there really is no one type – our girls may be extrovert, reserved, sporty, musical, creative, analytical, and often many of these. What is characteristic of all our pupils is their enjoyment of learning, an ethos upon which Withington Girls’ School was founded in 1890. Our pupils aspire to be the best that they can be and play a full part in their learning and this extends beyond the classroom to their engagement in extra-curricular activities too.

Withington offers an innovative and inspiring place of learning, supported by a diverse, inclusive and open-minded school community. Your daughter’s personal development and character would be nurtured in an environment that promotes mutual respect and personal responsibility. Here’s what our pupils say:
