Wolverhampton Girls’ High School

Information 2015-2016

Wolverhampton Girls’ High School has a long and established history of providing outstanding education for girls for over 100 years. We pride ourselves on our traditions, but we do not stand still, we are striving for continuous improvement. There is no charge or cost related to the admission of a student to the school and we welcome students from within the City of Wolverhampton and beyond.

We offer a broad and rich curriculum where all students are encouraged and supported to achieve their personal best in all aspects of school life. Our combination of high expectations and support tailored to meeting individual needs leads to academic excellence. Students are highly motivated to learn and personalised learning lies at the heart of our provision.

The school is respected as one of the best state schools in the country, regularly achieving examination results which place it at or near the top of national league tables. This success has also been recognised by Ofsted, with the school achieving four successive “Outstanding” inspections. Indeed the school was awarded this highest rating in every category in each of the two most recent inspections.

Whilst academic achievements are an important part of life at WGHS, students enjoy the wide range of other opportunities. These include participation in the thriving house system; and opportunities in the fields of sport, music and drama. There is a plethora of activities for the students to engage in from leading whole school events; to organising charity fundraising activities; participating in debating competitions and enjoying expeditions abroad.

Our team of dedicated staff ensure that students are well supported to achieve academic success, within a caring community. Pastoral care is exceptional, focusing upon student wellbeing. High quality advice and support is provided to ensure that students are well informed to make their choices when preparing for higher education and their future careers. The school has an impressive record of students going on to read a variety of degree courses including Medicine and Law; and at some of the best institutions in the country including Oxford and Cambridge.

The school’s motto: Ludus Supra Praemium, emphasises the value of taking part as a member of the school community. Our girls are encouraged to develop skills for life long success in terms of understanding themselves as learners and developing as responsible citizens, demonstrating care and respect for all members of the community. As a result they leave WGHS with fond memories, and equipped as confident and independent minded young women ready to take on the challenges ahead and enjoy success in their chosen fields.

WGHS is a special place to be, with its supportive atmosphere encouraging all students to achieve their best in all aspects of school life. If you would like to find out more about our school, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

THE CURRICULUM 2015-16

Key Stage 5

Number of Periods:

Nine one hour lessons per fortnight are allocated to each subject chosen at AS and A2 Level.

AS/A Level choice:

Advice is given to students in Year 11 on the selection of A Levels, supporting students in making choices that are appropriate to ability, aptitude and future career plans. Every student and their parents meet with senior staff on an individual basis to ensure that issues relating to subject choices can be fully explored.

Students are encouraged to choose four subjects for AS Level, three of which will be studied through to A2. A student’s A2 choice is generally limited to three subjects in order to ensure optimum outcomes for university entry.

In addition to the four chosen AS Level subjects, AS General Studies is completed by all students in Year 12. In previous years, Year 13 students have then opted to complete the Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) or complete A2 General Studies.

PSHCE in Year 12 is delivered through a variety of enrichment opportunities designed to develop a range of skills, knowledge and understanding. For example, active citizenship is encouraged through participation in community service; students are encouraged where appropriate to undertake additional work shadowing or work experience; opportunities are provided for developing students’ communication and interview skills with a view to preparing for university application; a range of sporting activities are available for students to pursue a personal interest; and additional qualifications such as the CSLA (Community Sports Leadership Award) and the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award are also available. In Year 13, opportunities support the development of study skills and preparation for university, with an emphasis on personal mentoring and review of personal progress. Students are encouraged to become more confident and independent by joining teams which contribute to school life; for example Peer Mentoring, Hospitality, Citizenship and Charity, etc. A guidance programme supports students to make the right choices regarding the next stage of their education and/or training.

AS/A Level subjects typically offered, subject to sufficient demand by students:

Art and DesignBiologyChemistryClassical CivilisationComputer Science*EconomicsEnglish LiteratureFrenchGeneral StudiesGeographyGermanGovernment and PoliticsHistory

JapaneseLatinMathematicsFurther MathematicsMusicPE*PhysicsPsychologyReligious StudiesRussianSpanish

(* Delivered through the Compton Park Learning Partnership)

Points to note:

• The remainder of the Sixth Form programme of study is delivered through a variety of enrichment opportunities and extra-curricular events/activities designed to develop a range of skills, knowledge and understanding that prepare the students for life beyond school with a focus on success within higher education;

• Students are encouraged to become more confident and independent by joining student leadership teams which contribute to school life. Teams of students organise aspects of school life such as, the School Council, hospitality for school events, peer mentoring systems and support; and

• Students are encouraged to participate in voluntary community work; students are also encouraged, where appropriate to undertake additional work shadowing or work experience. This can be facilitated by making use of study blocks during the school day.

Enrichment

Enrichment of the school curriculum is facilitated through a range of subject-related trips, visits to school by outside speakers and groups, various subject clubs and societies, and by entering a range of competitions. The full range of opportunities available to students is reported to the Governors’ Curriculum and Development Committee via a regular Enrichment report.
