Welcome to St Albans Girls' School

Message from the Head:

I am delighted to advise you that we have now gone live with Facebook and Twitter as well as undertaking further improvements to the website.  Thanks go again to Alison Bellerby who has been instrumental in ensuring that these upgrades to improved communications are occurring and to Ian Roberts and Barbara Clunie in school who continue to improve the information that is available to all via the website.  A reminder please to follow the link to the Ofsted website to undertake the parent survey.

You will see from the performance tables published yesterday that we have performed very favourably in terms of both local and national performance indicators – full information is available on the Department for education website where you can undertake school comparisons for student performance for low, middle and high attainers.
