The School
Didcot
Girls’ School is a dynamic school. In November 2022, the school was judged as continuing to
be Outstanding. As Ofsted recognised, we invest in all of our staff:
“Leaders support staff very well. They have
established a collaborative and respectful working environment. With the trust,
they provide highly valued training and leadership programmes. Staff are
exceptionally proud to work at the school.”
Ofsted also noted the high standards within the
school and commented that “Pupils’ behaviour is exemplary”
We are a values-driven
school, committed to high quality teaching and learning and respectful
relationships within an inclusive learning community. Developing stimulating
and student-centred teaching and learning is at the centre of our school
development work. We work hard to ensure that all girls’ education enables our
students to develop confidence, leadership skills and high levels of
aspiration.
We are committed to
continuous professional development and have wide-ranging training and
development opportunities. We are also mindful of the competing demands people
face in their lives and make every effort to accommodate flexible working.
Summer 2025 GCSE results were superb with 87% of all students
achieving 4+ in English and Maths, and 72% doing the same at 5+. Results at A
level in the mixed sixth form shared with our partner school, St Birinus
School, are also extremely strong with 35% of grades awarded as A* or A and 65%
achieving Grades A*-B. These results place us as one of the highest performing
schools in the county.
Employing great staff is key to the success of our school: the
Headteacher is actively involved in every interview process.
We understand that valuing and developing our staff is the best
way to release and realise their potential. In return, we seek staff who are
passionate about working with young people, resilient, and with a truly growth
mindset. If this is you, we look forward to hearing from you!
