Currently, the historic building of Lady’s Close serves as the home of our English department. While it holds significant historical value for the school, the increase in student numbers since 2018 means that most of its rooms no longer meet the requirements the school needs for teaching. As a result, English classes are now held in classrooms originally designated for other subjects.
The new teaching block will provide modern, sustainable, purpose‑built classrooms, easing timetable pressures and creating an inspiring learning environment for all students.
The Department for Education grant, supported by the Women of Vision Trust, will fund construction. However, it does not cover the essential internal fixtures and fittings needed to make the building usable. Without support from the WGGS community, the space will remain empty. Your contribution will help turn this vital project into a fully functioning home for outstanding teaching.
