Welcome to Chatham Grammar School for Girls

Dear Parents and Carers A very warm welcome to Chatham Grammar School for Girls (CGSG), a selective 11 – 19 girls school (mixed sixth form) that is part of the newly established University of Kent Academies Trust (UKAT). The new Trust has two UKAT Academies: Chatham Grammar School for Girls and Brompton Academy. The opportunities through UKAT are plentiful and both schools benefit from a range of key interventions provided by the Lead Sponsor, the University of Kent (UoK). These include a new UKAT Sixth Form offer, wider curriculum opportunities, excellent shared facilities, a bespoke graduate and post graduate Exciting plans are underway to establish a new Medical Hub based in Medway with the UKAT Sixth Form being an integral part of this new venture, focussing on routes into healthcare professions and medicine. Under the strategic leadership of the University of Kent Academies Trust (UKAT), CGSG has an innovative and transformative future vision for its young women – one based on ensuring all its Student Ambassadors Mentoring Scheme and the unique UKAT Teacher Training programme.

young people aspire to achieve and be the best they can be – future leaders within their communities and families – breaking glass ceilings, smart, confident, resilient, motivated, with healthy mind sets and a real sense of wellbeing. Standards of achievement are good at the Academy. The 2018 OFSTED resulted in the school attaining an overall Good. Students enjoy a wide variety of stimulating and motivating opportunities to achieve outstanding academic outcomes and develop high quality thinking, learning and communication skills, which build secure foundations for a positive and successful life. Our goal is to ensure that our young women go forward into the world with the ability to deal confidently with all experiences that come their way. CGSG students enter the best Universities in

which includes our newly established international Leadership Development programme. Students are supported from early beginnings to successfully engage with all the challenges and opportunities that life at CGSG will offer. We recognise the substantial social and emotional pressures that are placed on young women today, and our priority and commitment is to ensure that our students develop healthy inquisitive minds, and that academic success is achieved within a nurturing environment. Come and see for yourself the rich and motivating learning opportunities in action, the enthusiasm of our teachers and students, and listen to the conversations and discussions of our young women first hand. CGSG is the place to be – it is an excellent choice for the future. We look forward to welcoming you to the Academy. Wendy Walters BA (Hons) MA Principal
