Why? Because we are a powerful network of schools in England and Wales, providing a girls’ only learning environment like no other.
GDST girls are more confident, make bolder, better choices, perform strongly in a broad range of academic subjects, and are positively optimistic about their futures.
Empowering, anti-stereotyping, inclusive and freeing is how GDST girls describe their school experiences.
We understand how girls learn, the things they respond to and care about. Environment is everything. It is the element that develops character beyond the curriculum. It is the difference that you will feel across all of our schools.

Girls’ only schooling allows a girl to be herself.
More than herself, in fact. Because a girls’ only environment will never pressure a girl to change who she is, to fit in. It will embolden her to follow her passions, to find her individuality, and be comfortable with who she is.
It will define who she can become.
