History
On his death in 1881, William Ward left a generous bequest in his will with the intention of transforming the lives of young women through an inspiring and empowering education. A successful merchant from Brixton (then a leafy country neighbourhood on the outskirts of London) Ward left a significant portion of his wealth to the foundation and maintenance of a high school for girls to be called by the name and known forever as "The City of London School for Girls founded by William Ward"'. The school opened its doors on Carmelite Street in 1894. Over 125 years later, a lot has changed.
Good luck to all our year 11 and year 13 students as they begin their GCSE and A level exams. We are incredibly proud of your hard work and dedication and we wish you all the best over the coming weeks.

Last weekend, 75 year 10 students completed the silver practice expedition for their @DofE. They walked along part of the South Downs improving their navigational skills and the instructors were impressed by the keen focus, determination and sense of fun shown by all!
