On Saturday 22nd June, as the blazing sun shone brightly on the Quad, we were thrilled to welcome back nearly 60 ‘Old Girls’ and former members of staff, for our annual Summer Reunion. 

It was a wonderful opportunity for Old Girls from around the country to reunite at Wakefield Girls’ and reminisce and recollect fond memories of their time studying at the High School. Guests enjoy a tour around the school campus, discovering all the changes and updates that have been implemented since they waved goodbye to Wakefield. 

Our brilliant catering team provided a delicious afternoon tea-style buffet of savoury treats and cakes, alongside bubbles and soft-drinks, to properly celebrate the special occasion. There were speeches by Head, Ms Boyes, Head Girl Ellie Tingle, and by Mrs Lesley Bland (OG 1991).

Highlights this year included celebrating 145 years of happily empowering girls at WGHS and some wonderful memories from our guest speaker, Lesley. Not forgetting a resounding rendition of the school song! 

We would like to thank all our attendees for joining us on the day. It was wonderful to reconnect and hear about what our Old Girls’ have been getting up to, and we look forward to seeing you back at Wakefield Girls’ hopefully very soon.
