Choosing where to study after Year 11 is one of the most important decisions a young person will make. For students who want to challenge themselves, develop ambitions and achieve outstanding results, Durham Sixth Form Centre offers an exceptional place to begin the next stage of their journey
At the heart of Durham Sixth Form Centre is a strong track record of academic success. Year after year, students achieve impressive results that open doors to top universities, apprenticeships, and exciting careers. These achievements are supported by expert teachers who specialise in educating 16-19-year-olds.
We focus exclusively on this age group and understand exactly how to guide students through the demands of advanced study while helping them grow in confidence, resilience and independence.
From the moment students enrol, our awardwinning progression team offer personalised support to explore their ambitions and plan for life after sixth form.
Whether aiming for university, higher apprenticeships or employment, students benefit from tailored guidance, workshops and one-to-one advice that ensures every pathway is carefully considered.
We also place a strong emphasis on career pathways, helping students connect their studies with real-world opportunities. Through employer partnerships, competitions and workrelated projects, students gain valuable insight into industries and develop the skills that universities and employers are looking for.
Life at Durham Sixth Form also offers a vibrant enrichment programme allowing students to explore new interests, build friendships and develop leadership skills.
From clubs and societies to the Duke of Edinburgh Silver Award, international trips such as skiing in Italy and cultural visits have included Borneo, India and Vietnam.
There are countless opportunities to broaden horizons and create unforgettable experiences.
Located in an unrivalled city centre setting, Durham Sixth Form Centre offers easy access to transport links, cultural venues, and organisations, giving students a dynamic environment in which to learn and grow.
We look forward to welcoming students who have been offered a place to study with us this September at enrolment, which takes place from 24th-27th August.
