Pink Looks Good on Team Poly!

Wear It Pink day brought plenty of colour, smiles and community spirit to Woolwich Polytechnic School for Girls today.

Here are just a few of our fabulous staff members showing off their pink outfits while supporting a fantastic cause.

Thank you to everyone who got involved and helped make the day so special.

What a wonderful day we had on Friday for Wear It Pink!

We take part every year because this cause is incredibly close to our hearts. Our wonderful Office Manager, Mrs Bridge, is a breast cancer survivor and an inspiration to us all.

Each year, Mrs Bridge and the admin team put together an amazing spread of snacks and treats for staff to enjoy in exchange for a donation, helping us raise money for such an important cause.

It is always a special day within our school community. Staff come together, there is plenty of laughter, lots of pink, and most importantly, an opportunity to raise awareness and support those affected by breast cancer.

£505 Raised for Wear It Pink 2026!

Thanks to the incredible generosity of our school community, we have raised an amazing £505 for Breast Cancer Now through our Wear It Pink 2026 fundraising efforts!

Thank you to everyone who donated, wore pink, enjoyed a treat and supported this fantastic cause. The generosity shown throughout the day was truly incredible, and together we have raised a wonderful amount for a charity that means so much to so many.

There is still time to support our fundraising efforts, so if you would like to donate, we would be hugely grateful for any contribution, no matter how big or small.

A fantastic achievement and a wonderful example of our community coming together to make a difference. Well done, everyone!

Dear Families,

We’re excited to be supporting Jeans for Genes Day on Friday 18th September, raising awareness and vital funds for children and families affected by genetic conditions.

Jeans for Genes raises awareness of the daily challenges faced by those living with a genetic condition and funds projects that make a real difference to the lives of affected children and their families. The campaign also helps shine a light on organisations that provide vital support and celebrates the achievements of those living with genetic conditions.

Students are invited to wear as much denim as they like, including jeans, denim dresses, suitable-length denim skirts, denim shirts, jackets, and other denim accessories.

If students choose not to wear denim, they must attend in full school uniform as usual.

From First GCSE Cohort at Woolwich Polytechnic School for Girls to University of Oxford

Kiran has been part of a truly special journey.

In 2024, she was among the very first cohort of students to receive GCSE results at Woolwich Polytechnic School for Girls. We captured that memorable moment as she opened her results, achieving an impressive five Grade 9s, three Grade 8s and one Grade 7. At the time, Kiran spoke warmly about the support she had received from staff at WPSfG and the positive impact it had on her success.

Continuing her educational journey at Woolwich Polytechnic Sixth Form was a natural next step. Fast forward two years, and Kiran has gone on to make an extraordinary contribution to our community, serving as Head Girl and becoming a role model for younger students.

Today marked another milestone as Kiran opened her A Level results, achieving an outstanding A*AA and securing her place at the University of Oxford, where she will study Philosophy, Politics and Economics.

Adding to the emotion of the day, Kiran's mum surprised her with a beautiful bouquet of flowers as she celebrated this incredible achievement alongside family, friends and staff.

From being part of a historic first GCSE cohort to earning a place at Oxford, Kiran's journey is one of dedication, resilience and ambition. We couldn't be prouder of everything she has achieved and know she will continue to inspire others as she embarks on this exciting new chapter. Congratulations, Kiran!

NewsShopper - Woolwich Polytechnic Success

Woolwich Polytechnic School for Girls' Class of 2026 Prom was held in June 2026, and what a wonderful evening it was. Our sports hall was magically transformed into the perfect prom venue, complete with beautifully dressed tables and chairs, balloons, stunning decorations, a fantastic DJ, and delicious food.

Our students looked incredible in their prom attire. It was a fantastic opportunity for everyone to celebrate and reminisce about the memories they have made over the last five years. It feels like only yesterday that they joined us as Year 7 students.

A huge thank you to Ms Alejo and all the staff who helped organise and support the prom behind the scenes. So much work goes into creating an event like this, and thanks to their efforts our students were able to enjoy a fantastic evening and make even more memories together.

We are so proud of everything the Class of 2026 has achieved and cannot wait to welcome them back on GCSE Results Day. Until then, we wish them a fantastic summer and look forward to seeing what the future holds for this amazing year group.
