Description

Wolverhampton Girls' High School is a grammar school for girls in Wolverhampton in the West Midlands of England.OverviewWolverhampton Girls' High School, founded in 1911, educates girls from the age of 11 to 18. The students are led by a headmistress along with a Board of Governors. There are some 741 girls enrolled, including about two hundred in the sixth form. It was previously awarded the status of Language College in the UK's Specialist Schools Programme, and converted to academy status on 1 April 2014.EntranceThe school has an excellent academic reputation, and as a result competition for entry is fierce. Almost 1000 girls apply each year from all around the West Midlands, Shropshire and Staffordshire area, and the 11+ examinations which must be taken in order to be enrolled in the school are designed to challenge. Entry to the school is via the Shropshire, Walsall and Wolverhampton Grammar Schools Consortium (Adams' Grammar, Newport Girls High, Queen Mary Grammar and High School and Wolverhampton Girls High), testing Maths, English, verbal and non-verbal reasoning. These tests take place during Year 6 of primary education. Entrance is determined purely from entrance examination results (although the school does operate an appeals and waiting list system), and each year approximately 108 pupils are awarded a place at the school. Entry after this point is very limited and does not fully open again until 16+. Sixth form admission is then granted on the basis of a variety of factors such as GCSE predictions and results and performance in interview. Both internal and external pupils must achieve more than six A*-Bs (including Maths and English) in their GCSEs to pursue studies in the sixth form, as well as high grades in the options they propose to take.
