We are delighted to announce that following a recent tender exercise we have appointed Innovate as our new school caterers, to take over the catering from the start of the new academic year in September. We are currently working with them to finalise the new menus and details of the service to be provided, so keep an eye out for more details over the coming weeks. Please see attached the welcome flyer with some initial information about the company and the service.

This year’s school production of Willy Russell’s Our Day Out, set in 1980s Liverpool, will see a talented cast fully recreate the hilarious story of Mrs Kay’s progress class and their infamous day trip to Conwy castle to a soundtrack of early 80s classics. The pupils have already portrayed their own tortured teenagers in their adaptations of ‘Romeo and Juliet’ for House Arts. Now follow us in the footsteps of Mrs Kay and her fellow teachers Susan and Colin as they try to give their pupils a good day out. They have to battle the unsympathetic Deputy Head Mr Briggs, and the antics of the children at the castle and the zoo. Our fun-filled production will begin at 7pm and refreshments will be available at the interval. The cast and production team warmly invite you to join us for a wonderfully nostalgic evening on either Tuesday 5th or Wednesday 6th of July 2022. You can purchase tickets by clicking here Tickets for this event cost £6.00 each.

Congratulations to all of our Year 11 students collecting their GCSE results today. The last 18 months have presented so many challenges because of the pandemic. We are all so very proud of the way in which our students have responded to those challenges with resilience and commitment to their studies. Hard-work, dedication and adaptability have been rewarded with a fantastic set of GCSE results. Well done everyone! Thank you to all of our parents and staff for the support they have shown the students in helping them to secure such great results. On behalf of everyone at Wolverhampton Girls’ High, congratulations to you all and we wish you all the very best for the exciting next steps that now lie ahead as we look forward to continuing to support you in the Sixth Form. Mrs Young

Congratulations to our class of 2021. You have so much to celebrate, and we are all so very proud of you. Our Year 13 students have worked incredibly hard over a very difficult two years. We have all faced challenges because of the pandemic and the cohort should feel so incredibly proud of all that they have achieved. They have shown such resilience and flexibility whilst maintaining a committed and hardworking approach. The results that they have achieved are testament to their dedication and the support they have received from staff, parents/carers, and each other. On behalf of everyone at Wolverhampton Girls’ High, thank you for your contributions to our school and we wish you all the very best for the exciting next steps that now lie ahead. Trudi Young

Very bad weather and road conditions may make it advisable to close the school earlier than usual to help girls with difficult journeys to get home, although it would be only under very exceptional circumstances that the school would close significantly early. The school will alert parents to this decision by text message and e-mail via the Schoolcomms electronic service that we have in school. Therefore, please would you kindly ensure that we have a current mobile telephone number and e-mail address so that you will receive this information should we need to make contact with you? In the event of a school closure while school is in session, all students will be dismissed from school unless parents record in their daughter’s School Planner their wish for their daughter to remain in the school building until collected. In the event of early closure, it is important that each girl knows exactly what she should do to get home. I should, therefore, be grateful if you would discuss with your daughter, how she is to make her way home in very bad weather, e.g. whether she is to wait to be collected from school, to start the journey home by bus, or to start walking. It is important that you work out together an agreed route that you both know. This detail then needs to be added to your daughter’s School Planner and signed by yourself. If your daughter should arrive home earlier than usual, it would be advisable to make arrangements for her to go to a friend or neighbour if there is no one at home, or to let herself into the house if you are happy for her to do so. In the event of waking up to severe weather conditions, the school will send a text message and e-mail via the Schoolcomms electronic service to all parents to notify of a school closure. We will also post this decision on the school website. The school will endeavour to have announcements made by 7.00am. If there is no definite announcement about the school by 7.00am, it can be assumed that there has not been a closure and school is open as usual.

Please view the attached flowchart, we hope this will be useful assistance to our school community.
