The Director of 6th Form
Welcome to our 6th Form Virtual Options Site!
Thank you for visiting and I hope that you find the information that you need to make an informed choice over your next steps. I am very proud to oversee our 6th form and of the achievements and the types of people that represent us in the 6th form. I want you to make the right decision for you but I also want you to understand that by joining us you are determined to be a positive role model and influence both in school and the wider community.
To be a DCHS 6th former is to agree to work hard and try your best, to get involved in the life of the school and want to give back to the community in which we live and study as you pursue your academic ambitions. If that sounds like you, we would love to receive your application!
Mr Allenby
Heads of Standards & Pastoral Mentor
Mr Batley (front), Mrs Harrison (back centre) are our Heads of Standards for 6th form. As Heads of Sixth Form our main role is making sure our students are happy and successful during their time with us, so that they are fully prepared for an exciting future.This starts with individual discussion with students and parents in Year 11, as we help guide them towards the best possible combination of Sixth Form courses. It finishes when we support and manage their applications to university, apprenticeships and careers. During Sixth form we manage a tutor programme that helps them develop independent learning skills they’ll need for adulthood. We also work with students on an individual basis to support them academically and holistically.
Pastoral Mentor & Administration Assistant
The final two members of the 6th form team are our 6th Form Mentor Mrs Carter (pictured below left) and Mrs Purvis (pictured below right in the foreground) who is our administration assistant. Mrs Carter's role is to support students with everything from organisation to well-being and to signpost young people towards helpful external providers so that their Sixth Form journey is as stress-free as possible! Mrs Purvis is responsible for keeping the day to day administration and event organisation of the 6th form running.
