Picture the imposing facade of Epsom Girls’ Grammar School. Its history whispers from every brick. Established on February 12 1917 it welcomed 174 eager students. This wasn’t just another school opening. It was a victory. A testament to the perseverance of those who fought for girls’ education. Despite a clear need for a second girls’ school in Auckland education administrators prioritized boys’ education. The school started in an adapted villa a far cry from the impressive institution it is today. Even then it quickly exceeded capacity.

Epsom Girls’ Grammar School is more than just a school. It’s a legacy. A legacy built by strong women. Twelve principals have guided this institution each leaving their mark. Names like Margaret Bendall and Marjory Adams echo through the halls. Their dedication paved the way for future generations. The current principal Brenda McNaughton continues this tradition of excellence.

The school boasts a remarkable roll of over 2200 students. This makes it one of New Zealand’s largest schools. Imagine the vibrant energy the collective ambition within its walls. Students from all over New Zealand and internationally attend. Epsom House provides on-site boarding for 150 students. It offers a home away from home for those who travel far to learn.

Beyond its size Epsom Girls’ Grammar School has achieved academic excellence. In 2021 it was named the top performing non-religious state school in Auckland. This accolade reflects the dedication of teachers and students. It’s a testament to their hard work and commitment to learning.

The school’s location also speaks volumes. Being in the “double Grammar zone” significantly impacts property prices. The school’s reputation adds value to homes in the area. This shows the high regard in which Epsom Girls’ Grammar School is held. It’s a place where education and opportunity thrive. A place where girls have consistently achieved greatness. Through difficulties to greatness. This is the motto of Epsom Girls’ Grammar School. And it’s a motto that resonates deeply within its walls.
