School Information

Boys and girls come to WGS from all sorts of backgrounds. Their experiences are diverse, but what they all have in common is an interest in thinking and learning. We expect students to work hard, to get into the habit of enquiring and finding out for themselves. WGS students gain a sense of responsibility for their own destinies and a conviction that they can make a difference.
