SCHOOL SITE

Wakefield Girls' occupies an extensive site in a conservation area near the centre of Wakefield. Our Junior section has its own gated grounds and a renovated and contemporary Georgian house called St John's is home to our Junior students. This sits adjacent to our Senior section campus and to the Wakefield Grammar School Pre-Preparatory School.

The grounds have been continually improved and include a sheltered play area, adventure play zone, grassed spaces, book nooks, netball courts, rounders pitch, a woodland area and a large Gymnasium, Hartley Pavilion, which is used for indoor PE lessons. Hartley Pavilion opened in the grounds in May 1996 providing indoor facilities for hockey, netball, tennis, badminton and basketball. In addition, a further Pavilion and Games Field are situated a short walk away. There is an astro-turf, hockey pitches, netball and tennis courts and an athletics track.

Junior students regularly attend assemblies in Jubilee Hall which is housed in our senior section in the school's original building, Wentworth House. Jubilee Hall was built in 1928 to mark the school's 50th Anniversary and is used for assemblies, amongst other timetabled activities and events. As a through school to age 18, junior students benefit from lessons with our specialist senior section teachers in Willows, a Victorian house located in our Senior section campus, adapted for the teaching of Food Technology and Music.
