Why Partner with GSA?
GSA represents 150 of the UK’s leading independent girls’ schools.
GSA schools range from the highly-selective to local community schools, including both day and boarding. Some cater for 100% girls, others provide a predominantly girls-only environment with boys in the nursery and/or sixth form.
The Summer Briefing is a popular annual event which brings together our GSA members. It attracts upwards of 110 delegates per year, and we always aim to grow attendance.
Exhibiting at the Conference provides companies with an opportunity to introduce new products and services, generate new business, and strengthen existing customer relationships. Most delegates at GSA events and conferences will have significant responsibility for designated school decisions.
