Junior schools for girls

Why GDST Juniors?

World-class teaching and one-of-a-kind opportunities designed for girls await a GDST Junior. 

From her very first day with us, your daughter becomes a valued member of our family of 26 schools. Our Junior schools nurture Confidence and give our students Choices via our unique and designed-for-girls Curriculum. Our values are clear, as is our value. The Telegraph rated our Junior schools as amongst the best-value-for-money in the UK based on academic excellence.

All this means a GDST Junior education achieves more for your daughter, because of our specialist teaching for girls.

Our Junior events and experiences

Our education is designed to reflect the value of unlimited opportunity. The GDST Junior co-curriculum is varied, exciting and unique to our schools. Junior events and experiences include drama at Shakespeare’s Globe, science at the Royal Institution, mathematics at the University of Oxford and music at GDST Sing Juniors.

A strong start in school helps a girl achieve incredible things later. A GDST early years education sets up our pupils for life beyond Juniors, in our all-through all-girl schools.

The GDST Junior school effect

The foundations for a bright future are built in early years education. Our Girls’ Future Report research demonstrates the benefits of a GDST Junior school and breaks down why GDST schools and all-girl learning environments can offer the best start in life for young women.
