Sixth form prospectus

View our current sixth form prospectusStudents and parents are invited to join us at our Sixth Form Open Evening in the Theatre on Wednesday 23 November 2022. A short introductory talk will commence at 17.00 followed by breakout talks, including more information about the IB curriculum and the University/Apprenticeship pathways programme offered at Dane Court. This will be repeated at 18.00 for those unable to attend the first talks.  The evening will provide parents and students with essential information about our world class IB curriculum offer, the excellent destinations secured by previous students and the wider support and extracurricular opportunities offered at Dane Court which have contributed to our 'Outstanding' status (OFSTED, 2022).
The Head of School and senior staff will talk about the Sixth Form and answer any specific questions you may have.  There will also be the opportunity to talk to staff who teach the I.B. subjects followed by a tour of the school as well as the opportunity to speak to representatives from a range of universities, including Cambridge, and Apprenticeship providers.
This Sixth Form Open Evening is a vital part of the process of application for the Sixth Form and we hope all students will be able to attend with their parents.

Mr C Pleasant, Head of Sixth Form & IB coordinator
