Wakefield Girls’ is celebrating 145 years spearheading girls’ education. We're delighted to be recognised as one of the top independent schools in the North and in our happily empowering environment set the pace for empowered girls and women for centuries to come.

Wakefield Girls' High School is part of The Wakefield Grammar School Foundation. The Wakefield Grammar School Foundation numbers amongst the country’s leading families of independent day schools. An education at the three schools in the Foundation is different in many ways but at the heart of it all, there is one guiding ethos which defines everything we do, academically, socially and ethically. We call it The Wakefield Way. The Wakefield Way is about developing inspirational learning environments which celebrate and nurture the distinctive learning needs of boys and girls. It’s about encouraging each individual student to look outwards as well as inwards as they become remarkable people with the desire to make a difference in the world. It’s about building confidence, Inspiring hearts and minds and instilling an empowering sense of purpose. But most of all, it’s about providing an imaginative foundation for life, learning and lasting achievement.
