Established in 1918, BSG is an 11-18 girls’ grammar school with over 1100 pupils, including 300 in the sixth form. It achieved Humanities specialist status 5 years ago and following designation as a High performing Specialist School also gained Science specialist status. We are also a Gifted and Talented Lead School. OFSTED in their 2008 report commented, ‘Staff and students work and learn with clarity of purpose and superb relationships, showing no complacency and striving for excellence.’ A key factor in our academic success is our outstanding pastoral care based on a recently introduced House system, which is the focal point for pupil leadership, charity work and friendly inter-house competition. We are an outward looking school, keen to develop partnerships to the benefit of all pupils both at our and other schools. Projects include a thriving link with a school in Kenya and nearer to home, close collaboration with neighbouring Bournemouth School. Our two schools are also co-sponsors of a new academy in Bournemouth.
