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 committing yourself to be 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. In short to be the best version of you! In return we promise you outstanding pastoral support, first class 6th form facilities with a variety of subjects on offer and a staff and 6th form team determined to support you. If that sounds like something that appeals to you, we would love to receive your application!
Mr Allenby
The 6th Form Team
Mrs Harrison (left) is our Head of 6th form. Mr Allenby (middle) is our Director of 6th form and Post 16 Education & Guidance and Miss Ives (right) is our 6th Form Administrator. Mrs Harrison and Mr Allenby's key 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 discussions 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.
6th Form Administrator
The final member of the 6th form team is Miss Ives (pictured right) who is our 6th Form Administrator. Miss Ives is responsible for keeping the day to day administration, monitoring of attendance and event organisation of the 6th form running.
6th Form Student Support
We have a number of pastoral mentors in school whose 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! Sessions with our mentors can be accessed through a self referral, form tutor or the 6th Form Team. We are really proud of our support network as it is designed to offer support, set expectations and work with all of our young people to provide structure and challenge to allow them to gradually find the independence that they will need to be successful beyond DCHS.
