We place great emphasis on high standards of education and ensure from ‘day one’ of their time with us, they are supported to achieve their absolute potential. Whilst studying with us, DGSB students will contribute extensively to the wider school community as well as experience rich academic development. Finally, we endeavour to ensure that when students leave DGSB and embark on the next stage of their life, they have every possible opportunity ahead of them.
