๐นHonouring Our History๐น
Today, Bradford Girlsโ Grammar School students visited the grave of Alberta Vickridge, a proud BGGS Old Girl, war poet, and nurse who served in hospitals during the war.
Our students paid tribute to her remarkable courage, compassion, and creativity. ๐
We were delighted to welcome back โOld Girlโ Val for a visit to Bradford Girlsโ Grammar School today.
Val attended BGGS in the 1960s and shared some wonderful stories about her experiences as a student.
