- The Ellen Wilkinson School for Girls
The Ellen Wilkinson School for Girls is a foundation secondary school for 1400 girls aged 11-18 years, located in the London borough of Ealing. The Headteacher is Ms C Sydenham.
Academic
It was awarded beacon status by the government in recognition of its academic excellence, and as a result became a specialist school for Science and Mathematics. Other particularly strong subjects within the school include English, Psychology, Media Studies, Art, Drama, Geography and Modern Languages. The school has raised standards consistently over the past five years, improving 5A*-C GCSE results from 58% in 2003 to 75% in 2008, and currently appears in The Good Schools Guide. As a high-performing Specialist School, the school was recently awarded Training School status.
Pastoral Structure
The student body is organised into five 'Divisions': Ranelagh, Madeley, Clare, Queens and the 6th Form. There are numerous inter-division sports competitions conducted throughout the year, as well as matches against other schools. Further extra-curricular activities include musical productions, concerts, regular trips to museums, galleries and theatres, as well as the popular annual school cruise.
The Arts
The school's Performing Arts Department stages a large-scale theatre production each year, featuring girls from all years of the school. Traditionally these have taken place in the school hall, but in 2007 an extra night was added at The Waterman's Theatre in Brentford, an arrangement that will continue this year.
Since 2000 the following shows have been produced at the school:
2000: The Boyfriend
2001: Bugsy Malone
2002: The Wiz
2003: That Ealing Feeling
2004: The Little Shop Of Horrors
2005: Guys and Dolls
2006: Honk
2007: Day & Night
2008: A Midsummer Night's Dream
