Future direction
We recognise that the world in which our schools operate is changing rapidly and the future into which our students will step will be different again.

As we look ahead we are incredibly excited at what the future holds for the GDST and our students.

We are re-investing our success to date, to ensure that our schools and educational programmes, however they evolve, continue to provide the most stimulating and challenging opportunities for our students.

Our organisational vision is to create a flexible framework that will enable the GDST to:

• Invest, grow and diversify
  
  
• Recruit and develop imaginative leaders
  
  
• Maintain our commitment to girls and society through our belief in the power of education to effect change
  
  
• Retain our relevance, significance and appeal
  
  
• Maximise our impact as a charity

Our redefined mission for the 21st century is to ensure that the GDST remains at the forefront of education:

- Extending excellence and innovation in dynamic educational settings
- Maintaining our leadership in the education of young women

In the sections which follow we highlight some of the core themes and strategic intentions for the next three years.
