Sixth form

Welcome to Dane Court sixth form

The sixth form at Dane Court provides both space and structure for students to develop and follow their own academic and personal interests. We encourage students to be creative, tolerant and to aim for academic, sporting and cultural excellence.

Our vision, values and aims

Developing knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world.

Caring

We show empathy, compassion and respect. We have a commitment to service, and we act to make a positive difference in the lives of others and in the world around us.

Open-minded

We critically appreciate our own cultures and personal histories, as well as the values and traditions of others. We seek and evaluate a range of points of view, and we are willing to grow from the experience.

Principled

We act with integrity and honesty, with a strong sense of fairness and justice, and with respect for the dignity and rights of people everywhere. We take responsibility for our actions and their consequences.

Testimonials

“The teachers listen to the students' needs and help where needed.”

"My child has really enjoyed the IB curriculum, and the friends they made at Dane Court very quickly. It was easy for them to integrate into Sixth Form coming from a different school."

“The sixth form is academically challenging which suits my daughter. She has made good friendships and she really likes the teachers.”

“The pupil teacher relationship in sixth form enables my child to ask questions and get support. The additional sessions in exam preparation season were really helpful.”

“My son is getting the chance to learn and exercise his mind, with teachers who care and push him.”
