WGHS has a long and proud tradition of four houses, Audley, Ferrers, Paget and Stafford. Our house system has been gathering momentum since the Winter Games in February and the time came before the Whitsun holiday to consider a clear identity for each house. We wanted to represent each one with its own crest and were sure that students would want the right image by which to celebrate and gather under as part of their school family. It was an exciting opportunity to pose a design brief to the whole school. Entrants were welcome from ALL members of the school community in submitting house crest designs to represent Audely, Ferrers, Paget and Stafford. We knew school exams might slow the process down but eagerly awaited the submissions by those keen to face an artistic and creative challenge. Many of the entrants included a passionate written accompaniment to their design which explained their view of their House Values and Virtues in true Girls’ High style! The thoughtful symbolism had clearly been researched and considered in all cases. Loyalty, Bravery, Vigilance, Hope, Unity, Resilience and Determination featured throughout. I would like to highly commend the following artists and designers: Abigail Turner in 8G, Debleena Nandy in 7C, Lucy Munson in 8C and Temi Ojerinde in 10P for their wonderful designs. All were beautifully presented and very carefully crafted on paper. They all showed super attention to detail and dexterity in their chosen media. Winning designs are: Paget - Christina Hilken and Marlow Telling Stafford - Ewurama Tabil Audley - Ananya Marla Ferrers - Bieren Ghateaura

With the weather not on our side, this year’s sports day started with field events being held indoors during the morning, but this did not dampen House Spirt. The weather brightened up and the track events took place on the drive field in the afternoon will excitement and tensions building throughout the day as first place on the leader board changed with every event! A superb effort was put in by all the girls and staff, including Mrs Young! It was a fantastic way to end a busy but successful sporting year, getting the whole school together. It was an action packed, exhilarating and highly spirited day all round!! The day was dedicated to Isabella Desir, marked with a minute of applause and the playing of her favourite song Gold by Spandau Ballet during the opening flag parade ceremony. Thanks you to all of the staff and sixth form who helped and supported the very smooth running of the day it would not be possible without all your efforts. The day was also significant as House Mistresses hand over to new House Leaders in September. We would like to take this opportunity to thank the House Mistresses for all their hard work and dedication and supporting the students within their Houses.Thank you again to staff and Y12 students who helped the day be a great success.The money raised so far is £853.10. We will continue to collect sponsorship money and donations when girls return in September so we can raise as much money as possible for Isabella's two favourite charities Mind and Help for Heroes. The final results are as follows: 1st – Paget 2nd – Ferrers 3rd – Audley 4th – Stafford
