International Women's Day

We’re celebrating this incredibly important day recognised globally. We have so much going on, in, and around Wakefield Girls’ including the work of our teams, students and alumnae . Take a look and join us in celebrating all we are doing and continue to achieve.

Inspirational Women

Our powHER panel share their leadership lessons and career insights, learned from their experiences.

My favourite part of my role is working with younger peers and staff, feeding back to each other on all the great things we are doing to make school life better - which has helped me understand important aspects of working in a community and driving change.

Tiffany Djagnikpo
Diversity & Inclusion Student Leader, Student Union

I am enjoying being a student leader on the food committee because I can put my ideas out there and share ideas of my form too. It shows that Year 7 has a voice. This role has really helped me to listen to other people which I think is a great thing to be able to do.

Eleanor Terry
Food Committee Student Leader

The best thing about being a Digital Student Leader is meeting many new people and working with students from Year 7 to Year 11. This leadership role really helps to develop teamwork skills as many of the resources we make, we work on with other leaders, friends and peers, in groups.
