Penwortham Girls’ High School enjoys a unique status, as the only non-selective, non-fee paying girls’ school in Lancashire. We welcome girls of all abilities, interests and aptitudes, and pride ourselves on our long-standing reputation for academic success. We are a successful school because we have high expectations, promote learning for its own sake and provide every opportunity for personal growth and development.
Importantly, we are specialists in girls’ education, providing a nurturing, supportive and challenging environment where girls excel. At our school, traditional values meet with modern, innovative approaches to learning. We are a forward thinking school that has invested considerably in new technology, ensuring that when they leave us, our pupils are fully equipped for the future. However, equally important are the qualities we instil in the girls. We have developed an environment that supports them as individuals, enabling them to progress to the next stage of their life equipped with a sense of achievement, maturity and self-confidence.
OUR MISSION IS TO PREPARE: Articulate, Questioning, Tolerant, Independent Women for the future
We aim to foster a love of learning and we strive to unlock the potential in every child. We want our students to challenge themselves both inside and outside the classroom, to develop their talents for the future.
Fulfilling every girl’s potential is our common purpose, uniting staff and students in a shared endeavour, informed by an enduring vision. Equally unchanging is our commitment to long-held values still relevant today: all students have the right to an excellent education and they also have certain duties: Our girls are treated with courtesy and respect, and this is expected in return. Most importantly we instil a strong sense of personal responsibility for girls’ own learning and that of their peers. We want our students to take pride in their own achievements and those of others. These core values have underpinned our successes for sixty years and we are confident that they will guide us ever higher in the future.
