GDST operates the UK's largest network of girls' schools as a unified educational charity, managing 26 institutions (24 independent, 2 academies) with over 4,000 staff and 100,000+ alumnae. Active hiring across education and operations roles signals expansion of teaching capacity and curriculum development, while documented pain points around teacher recruitment, timetable complexity, and data accuracy suggest the organization is scaling infrastructure faster than systems maturity.
