About Dartford Science & Technology College
We are proud to be a popular and oversubscribed stand alone Foundation school working with the Co-operative Trust. Consequently we embrace the Trust ethos of self-help, self-responsibility, democracy, equity, equality and solidarity. We are the only non-selective girls’ school in Dartford which makes us unique. Despite the competitive environment of the selective system, many of our students have passed the Kent selection test and thrive in our ambitious, developmental and safe environment: regardless of their starting point, all students have the opportunity to flourish.
It is an exciting time in our journey and all staff have the opportunity to drive meaningful change. We have a culture of high quality teaching underpinned by a belief that all lessons should challenge, support and inspire students to be intellectually curious and develop a lifelong passion for learning. We are aspirational for our students and promote engagement in learning across the school and teachers enjoy being able to teach in an environment which prioritises this.
