Huge shoutout to Margot – 7K who smashed her 5km PB at the Run Plymouth Event on Sunday 11th May, running alongside her Uncle Alexander! 🏃♀️ Your hard work and determination continue to inspire us all — we’re so proud of you, Margot!
Our Formula 24 racing team had a strong start to the 2025 season at RMB Chivenor this past Sunday, entering two cars – Hummingbird and Xantus – into their first competitive event of the year.
We are delighted to report that Hummingbird finished first in the race, securing a commanding lead and winning by a considerable margin. Xantus, competing in its very first race, achieved an impressive distance of nearly 32 miles, outperforming all the other Plymouth-based schools, many of whom have been racing for several years. This exceeded our original target of 28 miles and represents a significant achievement for a new team and vehicle.
Just a quick reminder that train timetables will be changing this Sunday, 18 May as part of the twice-yearly changes to timetables nationwide. All amendments are now in journey planners and online systems, including www.gwr.com and National Rail Enquiries. We’re asking customers to double-check their journey before travelling as there may be some minor changes in timings affecting their travel plans.
We are thrilled to announce that Plymouth High School for Girls has been formally accredited as a Thinking School by the University of Exeter, recognising our deep and sustained commitment to cognitive education and whole-school thinking.
We are incredibly proud of Carys H (Year 9) and Isla P (Year 10) who completed the challenging Ten Tors 35-mile expedition across Dartmoor as part of the Plymouth Explorer Scouts team.
A huge congratulations to Eva, 11L, who has made waves at the South East Regional Age Group Diving Competition in Southampton this weekend!
We love celebrating our students—and this weekend, Tilly, 7K, gave us every reason to cheer! 🌟
She was crowned Cornwall County Champion at Par Athletics Track, taking home the gold and smashing a personal best in the 70m hurdles. 🥇💨
Her determination, focus, and commitment truly paid off. What a phenomenal way to start the track season—well done, Tilly, we’re so proud of you! 👏👏
Our Pre-Loved Uniform Shop, run by our fantastic PTFA, continues to be a valuable resource for many families within the school community. To keep it going strong, we are currently in need of blazers and skirts — if you have any that your child has outgrown, we would be incredibly grateful for your donation.
This Sunday marks a special moment in our school’s Greenpower journey — for the first time ever, both of our race teams will appear together at the same event. Hummingbird and Xanthus, each representing different race categories, will take to the track at RMB Chivenor, showcasing the innovation, teamwork, and engineering skills of our students.
This week marked a special moment for our Year 11 and Year 13 students this week as they came together to enjoy their much-anticipated Celebration Days. With the sun shining and spirits high, students had a fantastic time relaxing and having fun before the focus shifts to their upcoming public examinations.
Lunchtime in the gym turned into a battle of brains this week as students from all year groups came together for our very own version of The 1% Club!
