Maidstone Grammar School for Girls

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 7 March 2023

The ambition for pupils at Maidstone Girls Grammar School (MGGS) is limitless. Pupils, from Years 7 to 13, aspire to be the very best they can be. They value the dedicated support from staff as they determinedly pursue different career ambitions. Pupils are eager to explain how the school's extensive and well-considered curriculum is helping them pursue their dreams, whether this is to be a doctor, actor, author, scientist or something else. Pupils share the high expectations their teachers have for academic success. Pupils strive to achieve these, knowing that their personal development and well-being are also at the heart of everything staff do. The importance of debate is continually promoted, ensuring that everyone has a voice. Pupils are encouraged to challenge their own and others' beliefs. Events such as the recent 'Unity in Diversity' House Arts Week inspire pupils to be proud of who they are and what they want to achieve. Time is taken to develop pupils' resilience and confidence. Teachers do this daily by carefully identifying what support pupils need to achieve highly. Pastoral care is always available. Pupils know they can report any concerns they have, including any potential bullying. They are confident that staff will also listen and provide the right help whenever this is needed.
