Portsmouth High School GDST

At Portsmouth High School GDST you can be sure your daughter will thrive. Because we are resolute in our ambition to make sure that whoever she is, and whoever wants to become, we will be there – every step of the way – to help her fulfil her promise, and her ambitions.

We have a long and unrivalled track record in educating girls, and so we understand precisely what a girl needs to be the best she can possibly be. We know, for example, that girls learn best when they feel safe, secure and happy. And where they know professional help and guidance is a constant. With this front and centre of all we do, we nurture every girl. We encourage her, and we’ll challenge her, too.

It starts with our Pre-School and the excitement of early explorations during her formative years.

In our Prep School, her horizons will start to expand, as she discovers learning in new and creative ways, in a range of inspiring spaces – from play areas set in wonderful gardens, to outdoor classrooms, and bright and lively indoor spaces. She will be her own person and part of our community, participating in clubs and activities. And before she knows it, she’ll be ready for her next step – into our Senior School.

Portsmouth High School Senior School brings together a powerful blend of academic studies, creative arts, music and sports, along with a host of co-curricular activities, to give your daughter a joy of learning in a vibrant, yet safe environment. Think what she can go on to achieve with this as her school experience – in a place where girls can excel in all areas of the curriculum, and find their passions, free from stereotyping.
Our Sixth Form is when your daughter’s ambitions will take flight. An independent environment where she will begin to shape her own future, and be empowered to succeed in it.

That’s what an all-girl learning environment provides, and that is what we can promise she will find at Portsmouth High School. Please do visit us to find out more. You can request a prospectus, or arrange a visit through our Admissions team who will be pleased to help. We look forward to welcoming you and your daughter to Portsmouth High School.

Bursaries & Scholarships

We are on a mission to reach as many girls as possible – from all backgrounds and walks of life – to open up access to our school. We therefore have a range of bursaries and scholarships in place, available to pupils aged 11 and over.

Our bursary programme is there to give talented girls a Portsmouth High School education without the financial burden falling on parents. We award bursaries to pupils whose performance in the entrance exams are exceptional, and the maximum value of a bursary can be the full published fees.

Bursary applications can be made online, and should be completed in the Autumn Term preceding the year of entry to the school. We try to assist as many families qualifying for a bursary as possible; however, demand is high, and we are often unable to support all of those who are eligible.

Our scholarships – which are many and varied in type – are awarded on academic, sporting, artistic or musical merit, and are available to everyone.
