Our open events for this year have now concluded. However, you can still schedule a personalised tour of the School and its facilities followed up with a meeting with our Head of Transition - Ms G Franklin who will answer any questions that you might have about the next steps and how we can support you through the process. A tailored tour of Woolwich Polytechnic School for Girls offers an excellent opportunity to experience school life first-hand for both you and your child. During the visit, you will receive all the essential information needed to help you make the best choice for your child's education.

Dear Parents/Carers,

As you may be aware, the week beginning 3rd February is Children's Mental Health Awareness Week. We will be doing various activities with the students throughout the week, culminating in ‘Wear Something Green’ day on Friday 7th February to raise awareness and money for CMH charities. We are also selling green Ribbon badges for 50p which can be bought from reception.

We ask that students contribute £1 on the day and wear an item or combination of items that are green from the following list:

• Green socks/tights
• Green hair band/bow/ribbon
• Green shoes (no trainers)

Students will still need to be in full school uniform with their green item of clothing and will not be permitted to have green nails or make up/face paint.

For further information on Children's Mental Health Awareness visit: www.place2be.org.uk

Staff will also be taking part and contributing to this event, and we will be sharing our activities and photos on the school website and social media pages.

We hope that you and your daughter(s) will support us in our promotion of such an important charity.

Yours faithfully,

Ms Burrows

Brand New Post 16 Building at Woolwich Polytechnic School for Boys

We're thrilled to share with you our brand-new Post 16 building at Woolwich Polytechnic School for Boys. This development will cater to the additional numbers enrolling from the girls' school. August 2024 saw the first cohort of students to graduate from Woolwich Polytechnic School for Girls and in September 2024 we warmly welcomed these students to the Sixth Form. Check out the video below that showcases the new building and how it seamlessly blends in with the existing school structure.

Mr T Lawrence, Headteacher of Woolwich Polytechnic School for Boys states, ‘I am delighted to be able to say that our new build has finally been finished and to such a high standard! PolyMAT, the design team and the builders have been highly flexible in consulting on our needs for an expanding 6th form and have made structural revisions to enable us to have bespoke spaces that adapt to our changing requirements, thus future-proofing the new space provided. It is a building that is welcoming, accessible and enhances the other satellite building to which it is attached, improving access and movements around the latter. And it has incorporated new solar technology as part of our commitment to a greener future. It is a most welcome new space for us to use and will enable us to continue to deliver excellence to our students.’

Mr Tim Plumb, CEO of PolyMAT, has expressed his enthusiasm for the project stating, ‘We were thrilled to be part of a project that will benefit students and the local community. By expanding our current facility, we have created an inclusive space that caters to students from Woolwich Polytechnic School for Girls. This will help them not only thrive, but also enjoy their interactions with their learning, with each other and with staff. This expansion has provided students with the ideal environment to further develop their skills and strengths. It will enable them to not only excel in their studies but also to make a positive impact on the world beyond the Poly.’
