"It's very fast-moving, people think very quickly, they're curious, they're engaged. The people who work here are never bored." Headteacher
I am sure that you already know of the first rate reputation of our individual schools even if you were unaware that they are part of the GDST family.
Since its foundation in 1872 the GDST has been at the forefront of education and a strong voice promoting opportunities for young women. Alongside this, we are now harnessing our expertise as a large and varied network of schools to advance education in a range of settings and promote best practice.
We are in an exciting phase of growth and evolution, building on our strengths and reinforcing our commitment to educational excellence. Our aim is for each pupil to attain their personal best academically whilst developing as an individual within a distinctive and stimulating educational framework. We encourage our students to cultivate a lively intellectual curiosity and a wide range of interests and life skills, successfully preparing them for life in a rapidly changing global society.
Whether you are a parent, prospective parent, a teacher, a prospective or former pupil, or someone with a broader interest in our role in the independent education sector, I hope that this website encourages you to contact us directly.
