What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 28 November 2023
At Wolverhampton Girls' High School pupils achieve academic excellence and contribute positively to all aspects of school life. They are proud to be a part of this diverse and inclusive community. Pupils benefit from an exceptional enrichment offer. The school provides numerous, varied opportunities to nurture, develop and stretch pupils' talents and interests. Pupils speak highly of these and make good use of them. They often take the lead and are instrumental in establishing new clubs and societies, such as law society, debating club, and gothic film club, as well as events such as 'culture day'. The school has ensured there is something for everyone. The school has a vast array of opportunities for pupils to take on leadership roles. Older pupils are role models and look out for their younger peers. The 'mental health student support team' is there to listen to those who need someone to talk to. Sixth-form 'academic mentors' impart their subject knowledge to those who need guidance. The school's motto, 'Ludus supra praemium', emphasises the value of wholeheartedly being part of the school community. Pupils are on board with this and strive to achieve their personal best. They successfully gain places at their chosen universities to study degrees, apprenticeships and other courses.
