About Northwood College for Girls GDST
Northwood College for Girls was founded in 1878 as a small Victorian girls' day school in the affluent north-west London suburb of Northwood. The school operated as an independent foundation for more than 130 years before joining the Girls' Day School Trust (GDST) federation in 2014, becoming one of the more recent GDST members. The school today educates around 891 pupils ages 3-18 and is girls-only throughout. The Headmistress is Zara Hubble.
The school is a member of the GSA and the GDST and is inspected by the ISI. The campus sits in central Northwood, in the London Borough of Hillingdon — a North-West London commuter belt area neighbouring Watford and Pinner. The school's location is well placed for the strong commuter-belt academic catchment that runs west from central London out through the Metropolitan Line corridor.
The school's academic profile is mid-to-top quintile London girls' day school, with a particularly strong sciences, medical-schools and Cambridge / UCL / Imperial pipeline. The school is governed by the Girls' Day School Trust — the Victorian charitable federation founded in 1872 to provide academically rigorous, affordable day-school education for girls. The GDST charitable foundation funds a substantial bursary programme at all 25 GDST schools.
The school operates a substantial bursary programme via the GDST charitable foundation, intended to maintain the founding Victorian principle of educational access for academically able girls regardless of family means.
