"Didcot Girls' School is a vibrant and happy place to work and learn" Ofsted The opening line from our latest Ofsted report (Nov 2022) perfectly encapsulates Didcot Girls School and what it is like to be here. As a governing body we support and encourage the relentless ambition of the school for every student.
We have a universal commitment to excellence at every level and believe that the combination of a single sex main school and co-educational sixth form offers every student the opportunity to realise their full potential. The school's core values of respect, inclusivity and setting high expectations lie at the heart of everything we do.
The rich curriculum at DGS is deliberately ambitious, broad and inclusive, providing all learners with the knowledge and cultural capital they need to succeed in life. Student well-being and safeguarding are of paramount importance; a great deal of work goes on continuously to deliver a safe, caring environment for learning.
