On Friday, we were honoured to welcome over 30 incredible women into WPG for our International Women’s Day celebrations. These inspirational guests generously gave up their time to speak with our students, sharing their journeys, challenges, and achievements across an amazing variety of careers.

Our Year 7s took part in a Famous Careers Carousel, rotating between speakers and exploring new possibilities for their futures.
Meanwhile, Years 8 - 10 enjoyed interactive assemblies led by four of our brilliant guest speakers - each offering insight, motivation, and real-life stories that truly resonated with our girls.

We were incredibly fortunate to host women from such a wide range of professions, including the police, fire brigade, solicitors, MP, funeral directors, local councillors, health & safety, dog grooming, and many more.

We were especially proud to showcase women in underrepresented industries, such as site managers in large-scale construction projects and project managers, demonstrating the power of representation and visibility in shaping young minds.

A huge thank you to every speaker who joined us - your presence made a lasting impact, and our girls left feeling inspired, empowered, and full of ambition.
