Last week we announced our new Head Girls Team for 2023-24!

Earlier this term, Year 12s were invited to apply for the positions, and we received 29 amazing applications.  All applicants made two-minute presentations as a part of the HGT Hustings in front of their peers and members of staff,  before a school-wide vote (staff and pupils). The top candidates then had to take part in panel interviews with members of the Senior Leadership Team and outgoing Head Girl, Charlotte. After a tense weekend the final six were announced to the school on the 15th May when our outgoing team for 2022-23 handed over their HGT reins to our awesome new team of Lewhat, Gen, Abbi, Lydia, Flo and Games Captain Anna.
