At Maidstone Grammar School for Girls we encourage Resilient, Inspirational & Supportive students who strive for Excellence in all that they do.We develop kind, courageous, and responsible young people with an appreciation of moral and social responsibility and the skills necessary to play a positive contribution to their communities.
We believe our students should achieve, and in many cases, exceed their educational potential, in a friendly, welcoming and distinctive environment.
Form Tutors work alongside the Key Stage Learning Mentor and Head of Study to lead on maintaining our expectations of behaviour for learning. The Head of Study and tutor closely monitor student’s academic progress and wellbeing. The Head of Study supports Tutors in implementing the highest level of care and will become involved at those times when a student requires additional support.
High quality care and guidance result in a strongly inclusive and caring atmosphere in the school, a place where students feel safe and valued, and contribute to their enjoyment of school.

Accessing Support
Students who need support can access this in a variety of ways:
Celebrating Achievements
Students’ personal development is fostered very well through open and frank discussion and, because they feel valued, students are able to express their views and explore their feelings within a supportive environment.
Ofsted
We believe it is important to recognise and celebrate the achievement of our students. Our recognition and rewards system links rewards to House points. All students in Key Stages 3-5 receive house points according to the criteria that departments have identified. These are recorded in the student planner and on SIMS termly. Heads of Study award students House points for achievement and progress based on tracking analyses and end of year reports. They also reward attendance and contribution to the life of the form.
Recognition and Rewards form the basis of our behaviour for learning at Maidstone Grammar School for Girls; we encourage students to enjoy learning and feel that their achievements are recognised and celebrated within the school community.
