The Women of Vision Trust has been sustaining education at Watford Grammar School for Girls since it was established in 1998. Our aim is to ensure the excellent educational standards of the school remain whilst development and maintenance of the school building and resources is carried out.
Many of the projects funded by the Trust simply would not have been possible without donations. All donations made to the Trust go directly to enriching the learning journey for every girl at the school.
