(GSA) has issued a 鈥渞allying cry鈥 to all those involved in girls鈥 education to take part in a groundbreaking new study.
The association has launched a survey which it says is 鈥渢he most comprehensive survey into women and girls鈥 experiences of girls鈥 education to-date鈥.
As part of its 150th anniversary celebrations, organisers are calling on heads, teachers, pupils, parents, and alumnae to take part and help the GSA paint a picture of girls鈥 experiences across independent and state schools.
A statement from the GSA said: 鈥淭he ambition is to give voice to every generation, providing the fullest expression of the female experience all the way from the curiosity of the youngest of girls to the most experienced alumnae stateswomen.鈥
Donna Stevens, chief executive of the GSA, said the survey was part of a larger programme of research proving the benefits of girls鈥-only education: 鈥淎s the expert membership organisation of girls鈥 schools, the Girls鈥 Schools Association has always championed the benefits of a girls-first education…
“In our 150th year I鈥檓 proud to be able to extend our welcome to everyone who has ever worked or studied in a girls鈥 school to join with us, as we seek to understand ever more deeply the vital contribution girls鈥 schools make to create a more equitable world.
鈥淲e want to hear from everyone 鈥 pupils, parents, teachers, and former pupils alike 鈥 the whole girls鈥 schools鈥 community.鈥
The survey is now open, and comes complete with an information pack, plus additional teaching resources for teachers to use to help guide younger pupils.
Anyone who has experience of working in or attending a girls鈥 school (including parents of children in attendance) are welcome to participate by filling in the survey.
