Empowering girls since 1874
Manchester High School for Girls offers students a vibrant atmosphere and a strong sense of community. In such a supportive environment, each girl feels happy, cared for and valued as an individual.
At Manchester High School for Girls, we love to showcase our school to prospective families but the ongoing pandemic has meant that there have been fewer opportunities to do this over the last twelve months.
With the Easter holidays just around the corner, this week our students were given the oppurtunity to virtually attend our final ‘Insight Into’ careers talk of the academic year.
It seemed poignant that we welcomed our girls back to school after the third lockdown, on International Women’s Day – a day that celebrates the achievements of women and highlights the gender inequalities that are sadly still so evident across the world.
The charity and voluntary sector, also referred to as the 'third sector', aims to create social rather than material wealth. With most charities run as professional businesses, career opportunities can range from operations, fundraising, and policy making to marketing, events, administration and research. If you have an interest in social change, and want to put your skills to use in the charitable sector - this event is for you!
This weekend saw Manchester High School for Girls host its annual Model United Nations Conference with 180 delegates taking part from 22 schools across the country. The virtual event debated the theme of “Humanity” through nine different committees and councils, all Chaired by pupils at the all girls’ school.
Not living with regret, not being closed to job titles, and ensuring a work-life balance were some of the key highlights of our virtual ‘In Conversation’ with Katie Leviten (Class of 2006) on Monday 22nd February.
Year 10 pupil, Lola, has had her sights set on the Olympics since she started cycling at the age of 6 and she is now one step closer to realising her dream, having been asked to ‘guest’ with British Cycling’s GB Squad.
At Manchester High School for Girls’ first ever virtual Founders’ Lecture this week journalist Anushka Asthana (Class of 1998) spoke to an audience of almost 200 people, about her memories of Manchester High, reflected on her career to date and answered questions from the audience.
As we reach the end of January 2021, we’re well and truly settled into the routine of teaching and learning remotely here at MHSG, and it’s not only our lessons which have gone virtual. On Tuesday 26th January we held our third ‘Insight Into’ careers talk of the academic year virtually.
Open Events
Visiting the School and meeting the girls is the best way to find out what makes Manchester High so special.
Open Events for our Preparatory Department, Senior School and Sixth Form are held throughout the Autumn, but there are opportunities to visit all year round.
"Exam results are consistently jaw-dropping."
-The Good Schools Guide
“Manchester High School for Girls is an incredibly positive community. It promotes hard work, ambition and seriously clever women with a light touch. Its pupils leave the school with the world at their feet but also knowing how to support their friends, take care of themselves and have fun.” – The Good Schools Guide
The achievement and personal development of pupils is excellent.
