Welcome to Dartford Grammar School for Girls
In the Sixth Form at DGGS, our ethos is ‘Own your journey, create your future.’ I am extremely proud of the Sixth Form here at DGGS as it is a truly unique environment created with an emphasis on a curriculum with strong academic rigour and excellent pastoral care, leading to positive outcomes for students both personally and academically.
In addition to our challenging academic curriculum, taught and led by excellent subject specialist teachers and leaders, there is an experienced Sixth Form team to support you throughout your two‑year course, and a dedicated Sixth Form environment which has been designed to provide designated spaces for independent silent work, collaborative work as well as a Sixth Form Café.
There is a strong sense of community with numerous opportunities for you to be involved in the life of the school, including a wide variety of leadership roles, and for you to get a broad range of student‑led societies and events throughout the year. Our Electives Curriculum offers additional experiences, leadership opportunities and Level 3 qualifications in addition to the Core three A Levels and Learning for Life Programme.
DGGS Sixth Form students are incredibly successful, and this is measured both in their academic results, but also in their destinations. Studying three A Levels at DGGS opens up many opportunities and pathways including courses at Oxford, Cambridge and Russell Group Universities, a variety of courses including Medicine, Veterinary Science, Law, Finance and Economics and High Level Degree Apprenticeships.
Our Sixth Form is a remarkable environment in which to nurture and develop your potential and skills for your future aspirations. We look forward to meeting you and empowering you to ‘own your journey and create your future’.
