This is a very special school, a community of learners united by a common purpose of wanting the very best education possible. Education is about the whole person: about an intangible sense of wanting to be the best we can be in whatever field of endeavour. As Cardinal Manning wrote, 'education is about the whole person: the intellect, the heart, the will, the character and the soul.'

Our purpose is to inspire academic excellence and personal fulfilment in a

forward-looking community. We ensure a range of high quality learning experiences for all our students in a vibrant, creative environment. Our students are lively, courteous, intellectually curious and are encouraged to aim high and to leave with justifiable confidence about taking their place in an ever-changing world. Above all we hope that they will be good citizens giving back some of the benefits which we hope a DGGS education has provided them with.
