Watford Grammar School for Boys has an impressive reputation as one of the leading comprehensive secondary schools in the UK.

There is no other school in Hertfordshire with an eBacc entry as high as WBGS (99%) which achieves our level of value-added performance. All of our boys engage with an academic curriculum and most excel beyond national expectations to an impressive degree.

Coupled with this academic excellence is our commitment to offer all our pupils the opportunity to excel outside the classroom through the provision of an enriching programme of extra-curricular activity such as music, drama, sport, engineering or business skills.

The DfE publishes comparative data in official performance tables each year. This information provides a means by which schools can be compared using the current metrics for measuring attainment and progress in Key Stage 4 and Key Stage 5. However, turbulence in the national system for awarding qualifications has limited the reliability and utility of these comparators. With this caveat, we are nonetheless delighted with the performance of our boys at GCSE and A level this year, with the percentage of top grades (9 at GCSE) increasing on last year, despite a reported fall nationally in 2022. The boys are to be congratulated on a remarkable set of achievements after enduring years of Covid disruption whilst preparing for these qualifications.
