  • First ever Prom at WPSfG - Friday 5th July 2024

    Published 15/07/24

    On Friday 5th July 2024 we held our first ever prom at Woolwich Polytechnic School for Girls.

    Our sports hall was transformed into the perfect prom venue with beautiful white tables and chairs, balloons, decorations, a buffet, a mirror wall which was the perfect backdrop for taking photographs, disco lighting, a DJ and even a 360 photobooth.

    The students arrived at 6.30pm and looked wonderful in their prom attire. It was such a lovely event where the students danced, laughed and had lots of fun all evening. We are so very proud of the Class of 2024 and look forward to celebrating with them again on GCSE Results Day.

    A huge thank you to all the members of staff who were involved in organising the prom and for making it a truly memorable and special occasion for our students.

    Enjoy this short video which shows just a glimpse of the amazing prom!

  • Year 11 Shirt Signing at Woolwich Polytechnic School for Girls

    Published 21/06/24

    Year 11 Shirt Signing at Woolwich Polytechnic School for Girls

    We cannot believe that a week has already passed since we waved goodbye to our Year 11 students. We thought today would be perfect to share some photographs from last Friday and the students signing shirts.

    Our Year 11 students had been busy customising their shirts with such detailed and creative designs using paints, pens, diamantes, pearls and even feather trims. Such a wonderful tradition which celebrated our Year 11s wearing their school uniform for the last time.

  • Calling all 16-20 year olds: Reimagining our streets FREE workshop!

    Published 29/05/24

    As part of the 2024 London Festival of Architecture, not for profit organisation, HomeGrown Plus, is joining forces with architecture practice Pilbrow & Partners to lead a design workshop for 16-20 year olds to reimagine the city and their place within it.

    Over a 3-hour collaborative session, the group will come together to find imaginative solutions to redesign London’s spaces and places, examining how this could benefit them as well as future generations.

    You will need to bring along recycled materials, from a cardboard box to a plastic bottle (anything you would usually throw in the bin), and be encouraged to dream up alternative solutions to the way we use and develop our built environment to create a more equitable, sustainable and resilient city.

    The resulting models and drawings will be on display at Pilbrow &Partners’ Clerkenwell reception throughout the month of June.

    There is space for 20 participants and refreshments will be provided for the duration of the workshop.

    Reserve a spot now!

  • Introducing Professor Higgins, our esteemed Dog Mentor

    Published 17/05/24

    Introducing Professor Higgins, our esteemed Dog Mentor at Woolwich Polytechnic School for Girls and Woolwich Polytechnic School for Boys

    Professor Higgins is our friendly school dog. He became part of the Poly family as our Dog Mentor in 2022 at the tender age of 6 months old.

    In order to gain this title, like any student, he had to sit an exam to ensure he had the right temperament for school life, which included testing his skills such as patience, positivity and teamwork.

    Higgins specialises in working with students to reduce anxiety, to encourage social skills as well as helping students who are at the early stages of grasping the English Language. He is also very good at helping students understand the body language of dogs. This is useful when working with students to overcome their fear of dogs as this allows them to feel confident when out in public, including our Royal Borough’s green spaces.

    Higgins has a variety of hobbies, beyond the school gates, ranging from swimming (in any body of water, particularly in muddy streams) and even modelling!

    Professor Higgins works on a voluntary basis. Like any member of staff, our Professor has his own timetable. This means he avoids the corridors at change of lessons as well as the playground at break and lunchtime.

    The safeguarding and wellbeing of our students and staff come first in our Poly family - this includes the wellbeing of Professor Higgins. For this reason, our school community follow these guidelines:
    • Keeping our voices soft and calm (to stop him worrying that we are upset)
    • Asking before stroking him (he might be on his way to a lesson and won’t want to be late!)
    • Picking up any food that we may drop on the floor in the dining hall or playground (some human food can make him ill)

    We believe Professor Higgins is the ‘paw-fect’ Dog Mentor 🐕 💙
