About Walthamstow School for Girls
Walthamstow School for Girls (WSFG) is a mainstream, non-denominational secondary school for girls aged 11-16. It is situated in Walthamstow, East London, and it has 900 pupils on its roll.
WSFG is an oversubscribed, highly successful state comprehensive, with a proud history of educating girls since 1890. We are passionate about education being a vehicle for promoting equality and our mission is to empower young women to become leaders of the future. Although we are an Outstanding School, achieve exceptional outcomes and have consistently been in the top 10% of schools nationally for progress, our focus is on developing exceptional young women, not just on academic achievement. We want to recruit staff who actively embrace diversity and inclusion and who are committed to social justice as part of the state comprehensive system.
The school was founded in 1890, originally as a private school, situated on West Avenue. It later moved to the current location on Church Hill. In the 1920s unemployed workers built the school an amphitheatre known as the "Greek Amphitheatre" which still exists in the grounds today. The most recent additions to the school buildings were made in 2010 and the school now benefits from excellent facilities as well as beautiful school grounds.
