Finalists – Independent Schools of the Year Awards 2022

Seven GDST schools have been selected as Finalists for Independent Schools of the Year Awards 2022.

These highly-regarded awards recognise and celebrate the fantastic experiences and opportunities for students in independent schools across the UK and British schools overseas. This year’s awards showcase all that students, staff and wider school communities have achieved during the 2021-22 academic year – often during challenging circumstances.

11 GDST schools were selected as Commended Schools back in July, and we are thrilled to hear that seven schools have now been named as Finalists, in categories ranging from Independent Girls’ School of the Year to Independent School of the Year for Student Wellbeing and Sporting Achievement.
