Wirral Grammar School for Girls was founded in 1931, situated on Heath Road, Bebington, on the Wirral, England. It is a girls grammar school. Pupils must pass an entrance exam in order to gain a place. It is located next door to Wirral Grammar School for Boys. Mrs Elaine Cogan has been its head teacher since 2001. The school consists of lower school and sixth form.

Despite the school's popularity, falling rolls in the area has resulted in there being places available.

In 2007 Wirral Grammar School for Girls began a consultation with parents into the possibility of the school assuming Foundation School status. The school has specialist status in languages and more recently has acquired specialist humanties status. A consistently high achieving school, it has been designated as a 'high performing school' by the Specialist Schools' Trust and has received 'Outstanding' from Ofsted.
