Highworth Grammar School for Girls is a state-funded selective secondary school (grammar school) in Ashford, Kent. The school also admits boys to the sixth form. At an Ofsted inspection in March 2009, the school was rated 1 (outstanding) in all categories except attendance.[1]
Highworth Grammar School is a selective school of over 1,307 pupils, of whom over 330 are in the Sixth Form, which admits both boys and girls. The school was established in 1904 and moved to its present site in 1928. Since that time there has been a considerable amount of rebuilding and expansion. The school gained Music Specialist Status in September 2005 and applied to convert to Academy status in 2010.
Pupils from the school were chosen to form part of a "guard of honour" for athletes at the opening ceremony of the 2012 Olympic Games, displaying artistic creations their school made to celebrate the event.[2]
The headteacher is Mr Paul Danielsen, who has been in the role since January 2006.
