Celebrating 145 years
of happily empowering girls
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. It's a really exciting time to be a girl here. Hers is a time to grow up ready to take on tomorrow’s challenges and be a part of a future she chooses.

girls belong
We believe that when girls are educated separately, it changes everything. Our all-girl setting enables every student to become fully independent, levelling the playing field so that each can make the most of life’s opportunities and become everything she wants to be.
