About Nottingham Girls' High School GDST
Nottingham Girls' High School was founded in 1875 as one of the founding schools of the Girls' Public Day School Trust (now the GDST), making it one of the oldest girls' independent day schools in the English Midlands. The school operates today on a central Nottingham campus, immediately adjacent to Nottingham High School (the boys' independent — a separate institution despite the close geographic proximity). The school is girls-only ages 4-18 with around 663 pupils. The Head is Julie Keller. The school is a member of the GSA and the GDST and is inspected by the ISI. The school's academic profile is top-quintile Midlands girls' independent, with strong A-Level results and a strong Russell Group pipeline. The school is governed by the Girls' Day School Trust and operates a substantial bursary programme via the GDST charitable foundation.
