Sixth Form Curriculum

    Students at DGGS can choose to follow either a ‘3+’ or a 4 A-level curriculum. The 3+ curriculum enables students to pursue a personalised enrichment pathway (PEP) alongside their three A-levels as an alternative to a fourth A-level.

    Students can further enhance their knowledge and skills by joining an Emerging Talent Programme or by participating in Supercurricular Projects. Our curriculum is designed to provide students with the flexibility to build their own personalised two-year programme which is tailored to their individual interests and aspirations.
