About Durham Sixth Form Centre
With over 30 A-levels and almost 20 vocational qualifications, we have one of the broadest curriculum offers in the area. Our courses are delivered and led by specialist staff, who have expertise in working with 16-19 year olds and, as our results testify, we have an excellent track record of academic success. In addition to our broad curriculum, we offer a wide range of extra opportunities in order to develop our students’ skills and talents.
Ofsted Inspectors graded Durham Sixth Form Centre as ‘outstanding’ for overall effectiveness and in all categories, following a rigorous two-day inspection.
We have also received recognition for our work in a number of other areas, including Investors in People: Gold, Artsmark Platinum, Science Mark: Gold, Investors in Careers and the Wellbeing Award for Schools. Further information about other accolades is included within this subject guide.
The vast majority of our students progress to university, whilst others achieve places on highly sought-after school leaver programmes and higher-level apprenticeships, and others enter into employment. Our award-winning Careers, Progression and Aspirations team continues to play an instrumental role in this success.
