We are a selective, forward-thinking state school with academy status that has a strong track record of encouraging excellence.

We are able to provide a broad curriculum, including three languages in Year 7, thanks to our enrollment of 960 pupils, including 305 in the sixth form.
At LGGS, students exhibit exceptional behaviour and attendance, and our girls are eager, passionate, and highly motivated.
Our Duke of Edinburgh programme, which fosters resilience and teamwork, keeps expanding quite well.
Even though we are constrained to a tiny campus in the middle of the city, we utilise every square inch of space.
A purpose-built Sixth Form Center is among the latest facility upgrades that have benefited the school.
We respect our connections with a variety of schools in Europe and beyond as an international school.
