Value proposition

The latest news and opinion on girls, education & women’s leadership from the GDST and its family of schools.

A family of 26 girls’ schools, including 24 independent schools and two academies, across England and Wales.

We have over 4,000 staff, over 19,000 students between the ages of three and 18, and an alumnae network of over 100,000 - the largest of its kind in the UK.

As a charity that owns and runs a network of girls' schools in England and Wales, it reinvests all its income in its schools.

Founded in 1872, the GDST has a long history of pioneering innovation in the education of girls, and is the largest single educator of girls in the UK (and the UK’s largest educational charity).
