Sixth Form

Since opening in 2014, Ditton Park Academy has rapidly developed a reputation for educational excellence in its 11-16 provision.

We are delighted that our new Sixth Form is just as popular and vibrant, having opened the Sixth Form Centre in September 2019. We have the same very high expectations for our students and would like to support them in successfully achieving their next steps, be that entry to Russell Group and other leading universities, apprenticeships or skilled employment – all supported through our comprehensive and varied curriculum offer of over 20 courses at A-Level and BTEC Level 3.

Young people joining Ditton Park’s Sixth Form receive an excellent education in stunning surroundings. Our teachers have proved how dedicated and expert they are in creating a new school and developing new courses. The school environment is designed to inspire high-level study and all of our subjects are extremely well resourced.

Ditton Park Academy’s Sixth Formers can expect to be well taught, challenged and supported throughout their studies. We recognise that the leap from Year 11 to Year 12 can be considerable for many young people and so at DPA, our mentoring and pastoral systems will help ensure that students adapt quickly and securely to their Post-16 studies.

Alongside academic studies, we take the wider aspects of Sixth Form life very seriously. Our aim is to help all of our Sixth Formers become confident young adults equipped with excellent social skills and a sound awareness of the world around them. We actively seek to develop effective leadership skills in all of our Sixth Form students and our aim is to help young people to develop their strengths and build resilience.

Our enrichment programme is wide ranging. It aims to be stimulating, challenging and enjoyable giving our students plenty to think about and preparing them to be active citizens of the twenty-first century. As part of the enrichment programme, students meet experts and speakers who will motivate and help prepare them for life beyond school. Trips, clubs, societies and social events will also form key parts of our Sixth Form enrichment programme.

We very much hope that you will consider joining us in the Ditton Park Academy Sixth Form in September 2020 so that we can inspire young people over the next two years to be successful and aspirational adults.
