The schools became separate foundations for boys and girls in 1881 and the boys’ school moved to its present site in 1912. As an outstanding school, Watford Grammar School for Boys became an Academy in 2010 and now has over 1400 students. The school draws on a wide catchment area and the school community contains a rich variety of cultures. We are an all-ability school and we take pride in the high standards achieved by students in academic study, games, music, drama and many other activities. At Watford Grammar School for Boys, we are committed to continue to develop generations of young men who, when they leave school, are fully rounded individuals with a host of skills and experiences that equip them for the many opportunities and challenges they will face in life. Our aim is to provide an education of the highest quality to meet the individual and collective needs and aspirations for every student. The school ethos has, for generations inspired intellectual curiosity, a competitive spirit, creative thinking, social responsibility and leadership. Most of all it has nurtured friendships and an affection for the school which is evidenced by our thriving alumni network. Our ethos seeks to develop and not restrict individuality. We seek to nurture that individuality and a sense of self-worth by offering a breadth of subjects, and a range of opportunities ensuring that every student finds their own strengths. A strong sense of community underpins everything we do - learning to respect each other's backgrounds, faiths and beliefs. We value commitment, we celebrate success and we offer an environment which not only leads to academic success but also self-discovery, self-expression and a sense of personal worth.
