Introduction
The GDST founding principle is to reach as many girls as possible, and this means making sure that a GDST education remains as accessible and competitive as possible.
The fees we charge enable us to invest in the best teachers, state-of-the-art facilities and the vital infrastructure shared across the school network. School fees are reviewed annually by the GDST Council of Trustees, who remain committed to maintaining the high standards of our education and facilities, whilst remaining excellent value.
Every school within the GDST family has its own ethos and place in its community, whilst benefiting from being part of a large group of schools and receiving cost savings made by economies of scale and sharing support services. We fully appreciate the significant financial commitment and sacrifice many families make to send their daughter to a GDST school and we continue to work hard to run our schools effectively.
