Dunraven

Excellence for all

Our close links with St Martin in the Fields and La Retraite schools enable us to offer an extended range of subjects at AS or A-level. Together the three Sixth Forms, whose current enrolment is over 550, offer a very wide range of AS and A-Level choices, including distance learning programmes which are often supported by video conferencing.

At Dunraven we can offer you a Sixth Form experience which is challenging, varied, interesting and rewarding. While many of our students have been at Dunraven since Year 7, we welcome students who wish to change from another school after GCSE. Students from other schools settle in very quickly and become valued members of the Sixth Form community. This information booklet will help you decide if Dunraven is the right Sixth Form for you The separate course description leaflets give an overview of the courses available and their entry requirements and contain guidance on why to choose a particular course.

In the Sixth Form, you will have the opportunity to study in more depth those subjects which interest you most. Studying in our Sixth Form to gain a range of AS-Level and A-level qualifications is an effective way of improving your chances of gaining a place at a good university and of obtaining suitable and satisfying employment.

We provide our students with excellent ICT facilities, including access for both private study and for lessons. Students have all day access to a Learn Centre with 50 PC workstations and 5 e-macs, where they are supported in their independent studies by our e-learning coordinator.
