Why work for the GDST?

We are pioneers in girls’ education and aim to reshape the future of learning itself. Our teachers and support staff turn the GDST mission into reality; to help girls learn without limits, so that they go on to lead lives without limits.

We have five values that we live by: We always put girls first. We are forward-thinking. We are fearless. We are a family of schools. Our fifth value, fulfilling, speaks to the incredible and enriching careers our staff have in our schools and at GDST Trust Office.

Our network and support

The GDST has strength in numbers. At an operational level, for example, our scale supports a centrally organised and serviced IT infrastructure. Our size also means individual schools can benefit from advice and guidance from the centre; Trust Office is host to experts who support the schools and set policy from the centre. This includes the Innovation and Learning team who work closely with each school, constantly improving and developing the first-class education that the GDST is known for.
