As an Academy, the Governors of Didcot Girls' School propose to adopt the same admission arrangements as those for Community and Voluntary Controlled Schools for 2017-2018. All applications for places should be made via the Local Authority on 01865 815175. For more information about the Local Authority Admissions Policy follow this link: 

Secondary Schools Application Procedure

We hold an Open Evening and series of Open Mornings every year in September and October to which all prospective families are welcome to attend. We also hold an evening, with St Birinus Boys’ School, for potential applicants into our mixed sixth form in November. Information about all of these events is clearly signed on our website well in advance of the events themselves.

The school admission number for the new cohort of Year 7 students in September 2018 is 270, not 240 as published in the OCC 'Moving On' booklet. We hope to be able to offer places to all families who choose Didcot Girls' School as their first choice secondary school.
