IGNORING GENDER STEREOTYPES
Girls-only schools offer a dedicated learning environment in which young women develop their values and confidence away from the gender stereotypes and unconscious bias often present elsewhere in society.
LEADERSHIP
Studies show that in co-ed schools, fewer girls put themselves forward for leadership roles or lead discussions or group projects. In contrast, when girls are in a setting designed exclusively for them, they actively pursue and hold a leadership role.
SUBJECT VARIETY
Girls educated in a single-sex school opt for STEM subjects at GCSE and A-Level in greater numbers because they have not experienced the gender bias often associated with those subjects.
