A warm welcome
W
elcome to Danum Academy where we are very proud of our reputation as an outstanding Sixth Form. Danum’s Sixth Form of approximately 450 students is unique amongst Doncaster schools in that over half of these students have chosen to come to us from other schools in the area. The student mix this offers enhances the appeal of Danum’s Sixth Form both for those already within the school and those who transfer. W e offer a range of AS and A2 courses in over 30 subjects, including a range of specialist vocational courses. We have a strong reputation for academic success with an excellent record of placing students in higher education on a diversity of courses and in both traditional institutions including Oxford and Cambridge and in the newer universities. Our exam results are consistently high and demonstrate the motivation and talent of our students together with the dedication of our staff.
Our Sixth Form students enjoy a supportive environment. Many students comment on the helpful and friendly approach of the teachers and the support they give to students. The Sixth Form experience is a rich one. Much of this is created by student involvement in the extra curricular activities the Sixth Form offers. We do believe that a quality Sixth Form experience is enriched by students getting involved in a range of activities. We hope you consider our Sixth Form and believe that we can provide the challenge and excitement that comes with being in a large and dynamic environment. Mr David Irons Head of Sixth Form
The great majority of teaching observed in the Sixth Form Ofsted Oct 2011 is good or better.
