What is the Good Shepherd Trust?

The Good Shepherd Trust (GST) is a family of 16 church and community schools located within the Diocese of Guildford.

In partnership with schools, the Trust strives to provide transformational education by setting high standards, encouraging and recognising positive achievement in everyone, raising aspiration, increasing opportunities and improving standards.

Queen Eleanor’s joined the Good Shepherd Trust in November 2014.


Mission and Purpose...

Jesus said:

"I have come that they may have life, and have it in all its fullness."  John 10:10-11

The Good Shepherd Trust is rooted within the Diocese of Guildford and their mission is to ensure the best possible educational outcomes for every pupil.

They believe that every pupil has the right to a broad and rich education to be achieved within a distinctly Christian context, valuing each child as an individual and enabling them to flourish by discovering and developing their God given gifts.

Their purpose is to build a strong and high performing family of sustainable schools supported by first class shared services. Working together, we will enable our people to achieve excellent outcomes for pupils, and harness resources to secure the long term future of our schools.
