thinking about dchs 6th form?

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.
