Today is International Women’s Day and we want to celebrate our girls achievements especially in science and maths. This is especially poignant because so few women (who often achieve higher than men at GCSE) go on to study maths and STEM based subjects higher on in their education or go on to careers in this sector. We are so lucky to have gender balanced staffing in the STEM areas and it would be wonderful to think that our students might help to even out the gender imbalance in their futures. The tradition began with the first National Women's Day in 1909 and its roots are in campaigning for better pay and voting rights.
Today, events will take place across Britain and the world to celebrate the achievements of women and hopefully inspire others.
So come on Girls aim high you can achieve anything you want to. ‘I am grateful to be a woman. I must have done something great in another life.’ – Maya Angelou
