About Highworth Grammar School

Highworth Grammar School combines academic rigour with genuine warmth, creating an environment where girls are encouraged to think deeply, debate confidently, and develop into articulate young women. The curriculum is carefully designed to build knowledge progressively, with teachers using skilled questioning to challenge pupils and address gaps swiftly. Beyond the classroom, pupils engage with global issues through international exchanges, Model United Nations, and a thought-provoking sixth-form seminar programme. Student voice carries real weight here — pupil governors influence school decisions, and sixth-formers mentor younger students. With strong careers guidance and a culture that celebrates both academic excellence and individual difference, pupils leave exceptionally well prepared for university and beyond.
