This week saw Year 11 students at DGGS receive their GCSE results. The results were warmly received by all students with a significant number choosing to come into school to receive their results in person.

Mr Benson, headteacher, says “After the uncertainty of the last few weeks we are pleased to be able to share with our students grades which represent their hard work and dedication over their time with us here at the school. After such a difficult year where this cohort have been unable to fulfil the usual rites of passage of exams, proms and goodbyes, it has been wonderful today to share in their successes and touch base again. Staff have been in school today to meet students and discuss their next steps, providing support where necessary and celebrating with students across the board.

We are immensely proud of all our Year 11 and wish them well for the future: whether that is at other institutions preparing for the next stage of their lives or, for the majority, joining us here to take advantage of our top quality Sixth Form. Students have been able to choose from a wide range of subjects through our 3+ offer and pick additional opportunities to complement their core subjects such as work experience, leadership opportunities, EPQs and sports.

We have seen a number of students at A Level this year receive a revised offer for Cambridge and Medical schools and I have high hopes that we will see the same from this year’s cohort in due course.”
