Founded in 1958 & recognised as one of the best all girls' state schools in the UK, we are the top in Warwickshire for GCSE results based on Progress 8 data.
Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it. A big Thank You to Miss Dent for doing this for us whilst we can’t be there...

Introducing our new Head Girl Team! Congratulations to Seyi, Shivani and Ella for being appointed after what was a rigourous application process! The team will be taking over in Summer 2022.
We are saddened by the passing of our devoted sovereign, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. A much loved monarch who stood as the head of our country but stood in spirit with the people.
We are incredibly proud of the Class of 2024! Your hard work, dedication, and perseverance have led to truly outstanding results this year. Congratulations to each and every one of you—your achievements are nothing short of remarkable!

It's official! Our Progress 8 score of 0.74 means that our students achieve, on average, nearly three quarters of a grade higher in each of their GCSEs than similarly able students nationally. We are the top school in Warwickshire for GCSE progress!
The stats are in, and we are overjoyed to share that this year's Sixth Form cohort has secured the best published results in a decade! ‘Shaping Futures’ is at the heart of what we do, and we are delighted to have set our students up for the next exciting chapter in their lives!
Huge congratulations to Millie for what is a big honour! Being appointed as the Lord Lieutenant cadet is the highest accolade that can be awarded to a RAF cadet, and her squadron has never had a Lord Lieutenant’s cadet in its history! An outstanding achievement!
After a long day of travelling to Athens, our Year 12 & 13 R.E and Art students took an evening stroll for some quick local sightseeing. A beautiful evening, and more adventures await- so watch this space for more!
Well done

Sienna who won a Silver medal at the Salon Culinaire competition earlier this month. She was the youngest entrant too, so it's quite an achievement - well done! And just look at that cake.... !!
Twelve of our A level Eng Lit students spent an evening in conversation with author
@SebastianFaulks
at St Mary's Church, Warwick, in promotion of his new book Snow Country.
Our Lit students study Faulks's epic novel Birdsong, so it was a real privilege to listen to him.
congratulations to this amazing group of students for winning the second round of the English Speaking Union Churchill Public Speaking Competition last night!
For some SGGS staff, today is going to be a looooonnnngggg day. We have our Year 8 sleepover in the Manor tonight. Plenty of things going on, before the students will get to settle down to sleep in the beautiful (haunted) house. Just saying.

It’s been delightful to have a week-old baby chicks in the Science department where students at
#SGGS
have learnt about the journey from egg through to chick, and then see the rapid development once they are hatched. They've moved to a local free-range farm so they can grow.
