The answer, in one word, is confidence.
GDST parents have confidence in us, and in our continuing commitment to achieve the very best for their girls – because they’re our girls, too.
Parents have confidence that our schools have passion and commitment, and that we invest to ensure the facilities, the teachers and indeed the whole environment are of the highest quality. They have confidence that our encouraging, single-sex climate is the best setting in which, from their earliest years and right through their education, girls have uninhibited freedom – the freedom to develop, to learn, and to grow in capacity, courage and character.
GDST standards, academically, pastorally, in sports, music, drama, and in many other ways, are among the highest in the land. Our name is a seal of approval for excellence, and each of our schools is a vibrant example of this.
Why GDST? Explore this website, and if you still have questions, ask us – or visit a school, and ask the girls themselves.
They’ll tell you. And you’ll see they have confidence, too: the confidence that comes from attending one of the UK's best schools.
