As specialists in girls’ education, we tailor our teaching to the way girls learn best.
The GDST is a family of 25 girls’ schools, including 23 independent schools and two academies, across England and Wales. As all girls’ schools, we deliver innovative learning for girls aged three to eighteen. From nursery, primary and prep school, throughout secondary school and Sixth Form, they learn in an environment where every girl thrives.
We are proud that our schools are recognised for their excellence in teaching and pastoral care.
