GDST schools recognised for outstanding value for money by The Telegraph Money 

GDST schools have once again been recognised among the UK’s best value independent schools in The Telegraph Money‘s annual value-for-money analysis. 

This year’s rankings saw 18 GDST schools with published examination data rated either Good or Very good for value for money, with eight schools achieving the publication’s highest Very good rating. 

Overall, 90% of GDST schools with published value-for-money ratings were recognised in the top two categories, reflecting the GDST’s continued commitment to delivering exceptional educational outcomes alongside outstanding opportunities for every girl. 

At a time when many families are facing increased financial pressures, we are committed to keeping our fees as affordable as possible across our family of schools. Several GDST schools improved their value for money rating compared with last year, while the majority maintained their previous performance. 

Cheryl Giovannoni, GDST Chief Executive, said: 

“At the GDST, we believe an outstanding education is about much more than examination results. It is about equipping every girl with the knowledge, confidence and character to learn without limits. These rankings recognise the dedication of our teachers and staff, and the breadth and quality of the education our schools provide every day.”

The Telegraph Money‘s value-for-money analysis compares annual school fees with GCSE and A Level outcomes, alongside a range of other factors including selectivity, boarding provision, local salary costs and school facilities.
