The schools merged in September 2008, at which point the school was opened to both sexes. The school was situated on two sites: the senior school (ages 11–18) and junior school (7–11) at Alwoodley, while the former Leeds Girls' High School site in Headingley is used by the infant school and nursery, however, both schools are at the Alwoodley site now. The school operates as a diamond school, classes for girls and boys between the ages of 11 and 16 are segregated, but extracurricular activities are mixed. Junior school and sixth form classes are coeducational. The school is a member of The Headmasters' and Headmistresses' Conference (HMC).
In 2020, GSAL was named the Independent School of the Decade for the North by The Times.
