Welcome from our Head

At our school, every girl is valued as an individual, known, supported and encouraged to flourish. From the moment she joins us, she becomes part of a vibrant and caring community where high aspirations are matched by exceptional support. Our dedicated staff are committed to helping every pupil discover her strengths, develop her confidence and achieve her very best, both academically and personally.

We believe education should inspire a lifelong love of learning. Through a broad and balanced curriculum, complemented by a wide range of subject choices, girls are encouraged to explore their interests, embrace challenge and develop intellectual curiosity. Beyond the classroom, there is an abundance of opportunities to enrich school life, from art, music and drama to leadership programmes, charitable initiatives and community projects at home and abroad. Sport plays an important role in developing resilience, teamwork and wellbeing.

Pastoral care is at the heart of everything we do.

We know pupils thrive when they feel happy, secure and supported, and we take great pride in the strength of our pastoral provision. Heads of Year, Form Tutors and our dedicated wellbeing team work closely together to ensure every girl is nurtured throughout her journey. Our Sixth Form Wellbeing Ambassadors also provide valued peer support, helping to foster a culture of kindness, empathy and belonging.

While Year 7 is our main point of entry to the Senior School, places in other year groups occasionally become available. To find out more, please contact  admissions@wgs.org.

If you are seeking a school where your daughter will be inspired to aim high, grow in confidence and realise her potential, we warmly invite you to visit us at one of our Open Days or arrange a personal tour by calling 0161 249 3371.

We’d love to welcome you soon.

Mr Tom Bennett
