The GSA Promotes The Benefits Of A Predominantly Girls-only Education For Girls

We provide our members with excellent support, professional development and networking and have three categories of membership: Full, Associate and International.

Full Membership

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.
