Welcome
A warm welcome to our co-educational Sixth Form at Dover Grammar School for Girls.
Sixth-form students, including those new to the school, receive high-quality care and education. They benefit from an academic curriculum that is taught well. Students appreciate staff’s expertise and the strong relationships they build with them. They enjoy the challenge of their A-level lessons. They talk with confidence and insight about their learning. – Ofsted 2025
ETHOS AND VISION
If you are looking for a highly academic, inclusive and caring place to complete your Post-16 studies, but with the outlook, flexibility and approach of a non-school setting, then DGGS is that place. For all intents and purposes DGGS is a “traditional” Sixth Form provider, but with the modern approach of a college-style setting. Our ethos, values and curriculum are underpinned by a sense of aspiration, flexibility and individual support.
Curriculum Intent
Our Sixth Form curriculum at DGGS is underpinned by a sense of aspiration, flexibility and individual support.
Our rigorous academic curriculum is designed to promote intellectual curiosity, to equip students with transferable research skills, and to foster the strong levels of independence necessary to thrive in higher education and the world of work.
From a pastoral perspective, our form-time and PSHE programmes aim to develop our students’ health, wellbeing and capacity to form mutually-respectful relationships. Our wider curriculum includes careers education, one-to-one support for university and apprenticeship applications and aspirational programmes to support specific career pathways and destinations.
