ST ALBANS GIRLS' SCHOOL

Our school is a very special place and our students, staff and governors are exceptional people. We celebrate and build on our distinguished history and combine this with innovation in a caring, vibrant and dynamic community. Our students thrive on expert teaching, high quality facilities and a vast range of extracurricular activities. Our academic results are impressive. We know that if we have high expectations of our students, there is no limit to what they can achieve. We are committed to the highest standards of teaching and learning, achieved through a combination of challenge and support, encouragement and praise, to ensure that all students fulfil their potential. We develop the individuality and confidence of our student. The atmosphere in the school is exciting and vibrant because our students are purposeful and always busy. We encourage all of our young people to be aware of the needs of others and every year they collect several thousands of pounds for different charities. We have an excellent sporting record, with Music, Drama and the Arts celebrated within the rich and full academic curriculum. Our House system is at the heart of our community and encourages healthy competition. As a Business & Enterprise Academy we encourage innovation and entrepreneurship through all aspects of the core and extended curriculum and we regularly participate in Young Enterprise groups, Dragons Apprentice challenges and many other activities in every year group. Our staff are knowledgeable, enthused about learning and excellent practitioners, within a supportive and caring community. Our activities are too many to mention so please take time to browse through our website and see for yourself what St Albans Girls' School (STAGS) is really like.
