With so many young people competing in local inter-school competitions this year, we are extremely proud of our pupils for their dedication to all aspects of school sport, including those young volunteers, leaders and officials who made our competitions possible. As part of our application, we were asked to fulfil criteria in the areas of participation, competition, workforce and clubs, and we are pleased that the hard work of everyone at our school has been rewarded this year.

A special thanks to:

Our PE team for co-ordinating and hosting events as well as all the staff members who give up their time in order for us to put on many events. Of course, our gratitude and thanks go out to our students who put in time and effort to make our sporting environment an inclusive and successful one. We look forward to applying once again in 2026!

Episode 4 of Our School, their choice is here!

We’re proud to share the next chapter in our heartfelt video series, Our School, their Choice. As we count down to the summer holidays, we’ll continue to release a new video each week - each one capturing the voices of our parents and carers, and the powerful reasons they chose our school.

In this episode, we asked one powerful question: “Do you feel that your child is happy here at our school?”

At Woolwich Polytechnic School for Girls, we believe that happiness is the foundation of success. We are committed to creating a nurturing environment where every student feels seen, supported, and empowered to thrive. From our strong pastoral care system to our inclusive culture and dedicated staff, we work tirelessly to ensure that each child feels safe, valued, and happy every single day.

Dear Parents /Carers,

We are aware that a yellow health alert for heat has been announced, likely to last until the weekend. With that in mind, we advise that blazers and jumpers should be left at home. Students are encouraged to bring a disposable/refillable plastic water bottle to ensure they stay hydrated throughout the day.

All other uniform expectations remain the same.

Woolwich Polytechnic School for Girls 

We’re thrilled to introduce our brand-new YouTube series, Our School, Their Choice: Parents' Stories.

Over the past few weeks, we’ve been working closely with parents and carers, inviting them into our school to share their personal experiences on film. Through open and honest conversations, they’ve reflected on their journey with Woolwich Polytechnic School for Girls and Woolwich Polytechnic School for Boys.

This series offers a unique opportunity to hear directly from families about why they chose our schools. From academic excellence to a nurturing and supportive environment, these heartfelt testimonials highlight the many ways our school has positively influenced their children's lives.

Creating this project has been an incredibly insightful and rewarding experience, deepening our connections with families, and allowing us to hear first-hand about their children’s educational journeys. We sincerely appreciate all the parents and carers who participated in our recent filming. Your involvement and support have been invaluable in bringing this initiative to life, and your shared perspectives will leave a lasting impact.

The first video in this series explores the question: Would you recommend this school to prospective parents/carers? We’ll be releasing new videos each week on our channel in the lead-up to the summer holidays. Stay tuned for more inspiring stories!
