A group representing 25 girls’ schools has introduced a new policy to ensure boys who identify as female are not admitted. In a document clarifying its position on gender identity, Girls’ Day School Trust (GDST) said it was committed to single-sex education for girls on the basis of biological sex only. GDST includes Newcastle High School for Girls, Howell’s School in Cardiff, Brighton Girls and Kensington Prep School. Admissions are based on the prospective student’s legal sex as recorded on their birth certificate. However, the Trust flagged that such individuals may struggle “attending a school which deliberately tailors its ethos and educational approach to cater specifically for girls”.
