Female pupils are encouraged to “challenge bias” in society to help create a fairer world for all, a leading headteacher will say.
Marina Gardiner Legge, headteacher of Oxford High School, will say the power of “the modern suffragette” is needed to challenge the status quo.
Mrs Gardiner Legge, president of the Girls’ Schools Association (GSA), will give a speech where she will highlight the benefits of girls-only education.
She will tell headteachers at the GSA’s two-day conference in the Cotswolds: “In our schools and as school leaders, we seek to unleash girls and their full brilliance to confidently go out into the world to challenge bias.
“Girls’ schools are helping to create a fairer world through our pupils who are, and always have been, firebrands and trailblazing campaigners.”
