About Watford Grammar School for Girls

Watford Grammar School for Girls is a partially selective 11-18 girls’ school, founded as ‘The Free School’ in Watford in 1704 with a mission to teach girls, initially alongside their brothers, from the outset. This makes us one of the oldest girls’ school in the country.

We are proud of our heritage, but equally proud of our innovative approach to teaching and learning. Watford Grammar School for Girls has a very strong and distinctive ethos with clear vision and values.

There are close to 1500 pupils on role with more than 400 in the sixth form; academic results are consistently very high indeed and the school is ranked as outstanding by Ofsted.
There are always plenty of opportunities for teaching and support staff to train and develop their careers at Watford Girls.
