We provide our members with excellent support, professional development and networking and have three categories of membership: Full, Associate and International.
Who is eligible?
Full membership is open to any individual who is the head of an independent UK or Channel Islands school which educates girls within a girls-only environment for all or part of the 4-18 age range and is prepared to run their school by the high standards our Code of Conduct requires. Your school must be fee-charging, in all or in part; your governing body must be a member of AGBIS; and you (the Head) must be a member of ASCL or NAHT.
Fee
The fee for full membership is dependent upon the type and size of your school.
Please don’t hesitate to contact Sue Hincks, Membership Director on 0116 254 1619 or email us at office@gsa.uk.com.
Annual subscriptions are invoiced at the start of each academic year and payable by BACS transfer.

A variety of opportunities to network with heads and others interested in educating girls.
Emeritus
All Full members are automatically entitled to Emeritus membership upon retirement.
Heads’ Conference
Book your place at our annual heads’ conference to be inspired by excellent speakers and network with other members from the UK and further afield.
Publicity
Your school will be listed in the Schools’ Directory on the GSA website with your own school page, school news and Twitter feed. You can also place items of genuine educational interest in the weekly GSA e-newsletter and submit vacancies for the GSA Jobs page on our website.

Associate membership is open to any UK resident who has a significant interest in the education of girls and is not eligible for Full membership. For example, you may be the Head or senior leader of a UK school (state or independent, junior or senior), working in higher education, in charge of your organisation’s education liaison or recruitment programme, an education consultant, or anyone else with a legitimate interest in the education of girls.

The fee for Associate membership of the Girls’ Schools Association is £499 per annum.
The year runs September to August. Fees are subject to change, in which case prior notice will be given.
