It's the way OLD GIRLS' inspire and support our next generation
Every day, our alumnae achieve on their own terms, in their own way, in dynamic roles all over the world. After leaving Wakefield Girls’, their journeys sometimes cross or run in parallel, but wherever their individual paths take them, their bold, go-getting outlook makes them an inspiration to the next generation of Wakefield Girls’ leavers.
Wakefield Girls’ encourages a very balanced, well-rounded environment for its students, allowing them to develop real life skills which are incredibly valuable in their careers, many of which have helped me over the course of my career too.
