DSTC is a nurturing, engaging 11-18 school where students achieve well and flourish. DSTC is unique in Dartford as the only non-selective school for girls. In addition, we are a small school and pride ourselves on the excellent relationships between staff, students and parents.

Teachers know their students well; they identify and plan for their strengths and weaknesses so that they challenge students to be the best they can. There is a positive climate for learning with a culture of high aspiration throughout the school and plenty of opportunities for all our students to enjoy and excel in extra-curricular activities.

Teaching supports good and often strong progress, as evidenced by our results and Year 11 and Year 13 where we offer both academic and applied courses.

 

Our DSTC Values are:

I am creative; we think differently 

I am resilient; we are determined 

I am kind; we are compassionate

I am curious; we ask questions 

I am brave; we are courageous

I have a voice; we speak up

We are proud that our Year 13 leavers go on to a variety of destinations, including university and apprenticeships.
