Commenting upon her role as President, Mrs Low said: ‘I was delighted to have the opportunity to represent GSA during 2010. Continued debate on single-sex schooling has served to highlight the outstanding contribution that girls' schools make to the education of young women in this country. Our schools, far from being Victorian relics, provide a style of education that is utterly contemporary and relevant, supported not only by sustained successful practice, but by research. We offer a specialised approach that has proved hugely effective in enabling girls to thrive intellectually and personally building their confidence and aspirations in an atmosphere that focuses on their needs and natures, and where teaching is fully geared to the particular ways in which girls learn best.
‘While the academic success of our pupils is without doubt, our schools are strongly driven by values as well as passion for learning. The all-round development of each girl, through a balanced programme of extensive extra-curricular activities alongside their studies, supported by excellent pastoral care and expert teaching, is at the heart of our aims.'
