Dartford Grammar School

We are delighted that The Sunday Times Parent Power Guide 2025 has recognised Dartford Grammar School as the State Secondary School of the Year in the Southeast.   This is based on the school’s combined GCSE and IB results for 2024.

Head Julian Metcalf comments, ‘I am delighted that the hard work of students and teachers is recognised by the Parent Power guide. The high academic standards achieved are very much enhanced by the rich and varied programme of trips and visits that adds to our students’ education, along with a broad and varied co-curricular programme.’

‘Our IB curriculum in particular recognises that education should be enriching, student-focused and developing young people to be the balanced global citizens of tomorrow. I offer my congratulations to everyone who plays a part in this.’

The Sunday Times Parent Power is widely acknowledged as the most authoritative survey of the country’s top schools. This year’s guide will be available as a print supplement on Sunday, 8th December.

Helen Davies, Editor of Parent Power, comments, ‘there is much to celebrate from the hard work of passionate and committed teachers who are finding ever more impactful ways to boost their students and give them the very best start in life. As well as celebrating the academic excellence of the top schools, it is fantastic to see how they are shaping their students to be ready for the 21st century.’
