"Creativity is intelligence having fun" - Albert Einstein

Step into Deptford Green and you'll instantly feel the vibrant pulse of a school where imagination takes flight. More than just a place of learning, we're a community where creativity ignites every corner of the curriculum and the arts aren't just taught – they're lived. From the moment you enter, you'll be struck by the powerful connections between students and staff, a testament to our inclusive and diverse spirit.

Our GREAT values (Growth, Respect, Equality, Accountability, Togetherness) are the bedrock of everything we do, creating a safe and nurturing environment where students thrive.

At Deptford Green, we champion the arts, empowering our students to discover their voices and express themselves through a rich tapestry of artistic opportunities. Whether it's on stage, in the studio, or through our numerous student leadership platforms, we encourage every student to explore their passions and make their mark.

We celebrate effort and participation, nurturing well-being through outstanding pastoral care, including dedicated pastoral leaders for each year group and on-site Place2Be counsellors. Our seamless transition program ensures Year 7 students feel supported and welcomed into our close-knit community from day one.

Academic excellence is paramount, and our dynamic, inspiring lessons spark curiosity and deep thinking, challenging every student to reach their full potential. We're proud of our partnerships with leading academic institutions, offering unique opportunities like Latin studies at Colfe's School and access to prestigious programs like the Brilliant Club at Oxford and Cambridge universities.

Embracing our motto, "Catch the Wind in Your Sails: Explore, Dream, Discover," we inspire students to take risks, challenge themselves, and ignite their passions. We're not just preparing students for the future; we're empowering them to shape it. We equip them with the resilience, confidence, and expressive power to push boundaries and make a real difference in the world.

Deptford Green is more than a school – it's a launchpad for the next generation of innovators, academics, artists, and leaders. Are you ready to catch the wind in your sails?
