We are a selective grammar school for girls, which gained specialist engineering status from 1 September 2003 - The first all girls school to achieve such a distinction!

The school remains a centre of excellence in all subjects but this initiative has extended the range of opportunity and vision for young women - breaking subject specific stereotypes and contributing nationally to the pool of able young women entering the professions of science and engineering.

We look forward to meeting you personally during open evenings or in private visits to the school. In advance of that we hope you enjoy this brief snapshot of the creative life, talent and intellectual energy which make SGHS such an exciting and successful school - a place where girls and young women are challenged to succeed at the very highest levels.
