On Wednesday we celebrated Founder’s Day, as part of our 125th anniversary celebrations, and in honour of William Ward who founded the school in 1894. Mr Ward was a successful businessman who passed away in 1881, leaving most of his money to a range of charities and deserving causes. The largest chunk of his fortune was left to the City of London to set up a high school for girls.
Our Ethos
City of London School for Girls welcomes pupils from a wide range of different cultures, faiths and backgrounds which creates a unique and dynamic learning environment. The school is committed to providing opportunities to all girls regardless of financial means, and therefore offers numerous scholarships and bursaries. City of London School for Girls aims to provide a stretching and challenging academic education to girls at the top end of the ability range. The school also aims to provide a full and rounded education which helps to develop pupils morally, spiritually, socially and culturally, as well as intellectually.
“Pupils appreciate the value of learning for its own sake and are not driven by material or competitive ideals”.
