The ethos of Watford Grammar School for Girls is based firmly on tradition and our record of academic excellence, particularly for children ready for a primarily academic curriculum.We believe all our pupils are of equal worth and concern. We value the diversity of our school: pupils and staff share a wide variety of religious, ethnic and cultural backgrounds.Music is at the heart of the school and children gifted with an aptitude for music do well here. The school is a designated high performing specialist college for the Visual Arts and for Mathematics, and has been recognised nationally for its expertise in Sixth Form teaching and support for students' higher education applications. We encourage and support the participation and achievement of all pupils in all aspects of the curriculum and of school life. We have high expectations of courtesy, behaviour, effort and achievement within a disciplined, supportive and challenging academic environment. With our partner school, Watford Grammar School for Boys, we enjoy a common foundation and history, a shared ethos and values, and complementary specialisms. As single sex schools, we accept pupils from a wide area, as we have traditionally done. We value the lasting links with local families which our customary catchment area creates.We ask all parents applying for a place here to respect this ethos and to understand its importance as the foundation of the school community.
