- Didcot Girls’ School is the only all-girls 11-16 comprehensive in Oxfordshire, and shares a coeducational sixth form with St Birinus School. Nearly a third of A-level grades were A*/A in 2024 and 62 per cent A*-B.
- Mutual respect, inclusivity and high expectations are the core values at this school, which “empowers girls to become resilient and to fulfil their potential as future leaders”. Pupils are given a voice through a strong student council.
- There are more than 45 clubs and activities each term, ranging from musical and sporting activities to drama, science and technology.
- DGS also runs regular trips to Spain, France, China and Germany, and the school welcomes exchange students from Didcot’s twin town of Planegg, part of Munich in Bavaria.
