Remembering the GDST in your Will is one of the most personal and significant ways you can help our schools and support the future of the GDST and generations of talented girls and young women.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Legacy gifts often take the form of a specific sum of money or a percentage of a person\u2019s estate. All legacy gifts, whatever type or size, play a vital role in our work and can have a transformative impact.<\/p>\n

Currently, our priority is to be able to\u00a0expand our bursary programme<\/u><\/a> to enable more talented girls, no matter their background, to receive the opportunity of a GDST education. However, legacy gifts can also be directed to other areas of benefit, such as academic\/extra-curricular prizes or capital developments.<\/p>\n

We are hugely indebted to those who have recognised the importance of providing for the long-term financial support of the GDST in this way.<\/p>\n","button":"","container_class":["remove-margin-bottom","remove-padding-bottom"]},{"acf_fc_layout":"content-layout","title":"How to pledge a gift in your Will ","content":"

Amanda Triccas<\/strong>, Portsmouth High School<\/a>, 1984<\/p>\n

\u201cThe first-class education I received at Portsmouth High School gave me self-confidence, lasting friends and a strong scholarly grounding which allowed me to choose the future I wanted.<\/p>\n

As someone who has worked in girls’ education for over twenty years, I am well aware of the benefits of giving young women the best possible opportunities for leadership, creativity and personal aspiration.<\/p>\n

It’s important that those who have benefited from the GDST should consider giving back whatever they can to ensure that talented girls from all backgrounds can fulfil their potential.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","container_class":["remove-margin","background-grey"]},{"acf_fc_layout":"media-layout","image":{"ID":11899,"id":11899,"title":"Dorothy Whittington","filename":"Dorothy-Whittington.jpg","filesize":78664,"url":"https:\/\/www.gdst.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Dorothy-Whittington.jpg","link":"https:\/\/www.gdst.net\/support\/gdst-legacy\/dorothy-whittington\/","alt":"","author":"3","description":"","caption":"","name":"dorothy-whittington","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":3562,"date":"2020-02-13 09:23:00","modified":"2020-02-13 09:25:17","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/www.gdst.net\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":800,"height":600,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.gdst.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Dorothy-Whittington-150x150.jpg","thumbnail-width":150,"thumbnail-height":150,"medium":"https:\/\/www.gdst.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Dorothy-Whittington-300x225.jpg","medium-width":300,"medium-height":225,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.gdst.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Dorothy-Whittington-768x576.jpg","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":576,"large":"https:\/\/www.gdst.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Dorothy-Whittington.jpg","large-width":800,"large-height":600,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.gdst.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Dorothy-Whittington.jpg","1536x1536-width":800,"1536x1536-height":600,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.gdst.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Dorothy-Whittington.jpg","2048x2048-width":800,"2048x2048-height":600,"16-6-large":"https:\/\/www.gdst.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Dorothy-Whittington.jpg","16-6-large-width":720,"16-6-large-height":540,"4-3-small":"https:\/\/www.gdst.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Dorothy-Whittington-640x480.jpg","4-3-small-width":640,"4-3-small-height":480,"4-3-medium":"https:\/\/www.gdst.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Dorothy-Whittington.jpg","4-3-medium-width":800,"4-3-medium-height":600,"4-3-large":"https:\/\/www.gdst.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Dorothy-Whittington.jpg","4-3-large-width":800,"4-3-large-height":600,"4-3-xlarge":"https:\/\/www.gdst.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Dorothy-Whittington.jpg","4-3-xlarge-width":800,"4-3-xlarge-height":600,"2-1-small":"https:\/\/www.gdst.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Dorothy-Whittington-640x320.jpg","2-1-small-width":640,"2-1-small-height":320,"2-1-medium":"https:\/\/www.gdst.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Dorothy-Whittington.jpg","2-1-medium-width":800,"2-1-medium-height":600,"2-1-large":"https:\/\/www.gdst.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Dorothy-Whittington.jpg","2-1-large-width":800,"2-1-large-height":600,"2-1-xlarge":"https:\/\/www.gdst.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Dorothy-Whittington.jpg","2-1-xlarge-width":800,"2-1-xlarge-height":600,"1-1-small":"https:\/\/www.gdst.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Dorothy-Whittington-640x600.jpg","1-1-small-width":640,"1-1-small-height":600,"1-1-medium":"https:\/\/www.gdst.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Dorothy-Whittington.jpg","1-1-medium-width":800,"1-1-medium-height":600,"1-1-large":"https:\/\/www.gdst.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Dorothy-Whittington.jpg","1-1-large-width":800,"1-1-large-height":600,"1-1-xlarge":"https:\/\/www.gdst.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Dorothy-Whittington.jpg","1-1-xlarge-width":800,"1-1-xlarge-height":600}},"video":"","content":"

Dorothy Whittington<\/strong>, Oxford High School<\/a>, 1948<\/p>\n

“My GDST generation benefited from state financial support to help pay our school fees and girls were awarded places on academic merit, not on whether their families could pay. When I was at school the Butler Education Act turned us into a direct-grant school. All books became free, and fees became related to parental income, which helped a lot of families including mine, as my fees dropped from 13 to 10 guineas a term, which was a great help.<\/p>\n\t
