Supporting WGGS
Sustaining education at Watford Grammar School for Girls
We are proud of the school's history and heritage which is rooted in philanthropy. Dame Elizabeth Fuller founded the Watford Free School, as it was originally called, to ensure poor children were given the chance of an education. Today, all donations made to the Women of Vision Trust go directly to enriching the learning journey for every student at the school.
The objectives of The Women of Vision Trust are to support Watford Grammar School for Girls and in particular the maintenance of the fabric and amenities of the school. Since 1998, we have achieved this by encouraging donations from parents/carers, alumnae and friends of the school.
The generosity of alumnae, parents and friends of the school continues to benefit the current students. Over the years the funds raised have supported WGGS in new teaching facilities such as Hyde House and the Tennet Centre, to more specialist equipment and facilities that allow the school to maintain a standard of academic excellence.
The Trust ensures that, even in a tight fiscal climate, the school continues to improve and to flourish. The Trust is essential to us being able to retain standards and provide the girls with the excellent teaching and resources that they deserve and that keeps standards in the school so high. The consistency and the generosity of contributors is the key to our success.
Over the school year we invite volunteer alumnae, parents and friends of the school to attend our careers related events. The volunteers enthuse, inspire and ignite the imaginations of current WGGS students, often giving them guidance and an insight into a career or university course that they would like to pursue. If you would like to join the group of volunteers who enhance the girls’ education and vision for the future, please register via our Volunteering page.
Legacy gifts ensure that Watford Grammar School for Girls can continue to provide the young women of tomorrow with resources, equal opportunities to learn and the ability to fulfil their potential in the world.
