Head of Sixth Form’sWelcome

I am proud to welcome you to Davenant Sixth Form, which has been graded as providing outstanding provision by Ofsted in their recent inspection in Sept 2021.

The high quality teaching and subject knowledge of staff, the incredible post-18 outcomes and the variety of enrichment opportunities on offer to our students, were particularly highly praised in our report.

To quote a student who reflected the views of many when speaking to the Inspectors, ‘the school is beyond expectations.’

I am regularly impressed by the behaviour and courteous manner of our students as they work through what is invariably a challenging two years of A Level study. During this time they will be supported throughout by a dedicated and strong pastoral team including,myself, two Heads of Year, a Sixth Form Manager, a Careers Leader, a Careers Co-ordinator, our team of Librarians and Sixth Form Tutors.

We ensure there is always a wide range of staff available to offer advice and help to our students.

Our purpose built Sixth Form Centre creates a fantastic learning environment with first rate facilities. Our students appreciate a Sixth Form Library exclusively for their use, a Careers Library and a Sixth Form Café in their common room which develops a community spirit throughout Davenant Sixth Form.

The recent addition of the Reynolds Lecture Theatre, within our school, also provides university style lecture experiences for our students and an additional Year 13 silent study space.

We are proud of the enrichment and extracurricular opportunities we offer our students. From the full range of Duke of Edinburgh Awards through to volunteer work in our local community, our students leave us as well rounded young adults ready to face the bright futures ahead of them.

I warmly invite you to visit our Sixth Form and look forward to meeting you in the future.

Mrs Kate Fisher Assistant Headteacher Head of Sixth Form
