Dear Applicant,
Welcome to Durham Sixth Form Centre and thank you for your interest in the advertised post. I hope the following information gives you an insight into our school. Durham Sixth Form Centre is the largest post-16 school in the North East of England (and 1 of 4 nationally), with approximately 1,300 students on roll. We are situated in the middle of Durham City Centre, a couple of minutes walk from both the bus and railway stations. Students generally enrol at Durham Sixth Form Centre from over 50 different secondary schools from across County Durham, Sunderland and into Northumberland. We were inspected by Ofsted on 1st and 2nd March 2017 and are delighted with the outcome. We are an Outstanding post-16 school. Our students have an excellent record of success; they work hard to achieve it.
• Our A level results are above the national average and in the top 12% of schools in England. • Students’ grades and points for A level are above both the County Durham average and national average. • Students’ points and grades for their best 3 A levels are also above the national average.
• Our Applied General results (broad vocational qualifications) are above the national average and in the top
third of schools in England. • Students’ grades and points for Applied General are well above the County Durham average and national
average.
• Our Tech Level (occupational qualifications) grades and points are well above the County Durham average and national average.
Most of our students continue their studies at university, some take up employment or apprenticeships; others stay with us into Year 14 where we run some Level 4 courses. Our award-winning Careers Information Advice and Guidance team support our students into higher education, employment or their chosen future pathways. In 2013 we celebrated our Centenary year. We are housed in a 1913 former Girls’ Grammar School which was converted to Sixth Form accommodation in 1983. In addition to the original building there is now a Science Block; a 210 seated Theatre; our Hunter Resource Centre; Visual Arts Centre and Freemans Quay Leisure Centre. We have plans in place to continue to develop our school buildings over the next year. Through sustained effort, and a clear focus and direction, Durham Sixth Form Centre is a truly embracing and dynamic organisation. We are committed to promoting the principals of equal opportunities and we aspire to an environment where all our students and employees can develop their potential. We have a strong professional development programme and have achieved CPD Mark accreditation, Investors in People and Governor Mark. Our recent Ofsted inspection report said ‘The Headteacher and the highly skilled leadership team have established a culture in which students flourish and grow. Consequently, there is a healthy appetite for learning and achievement in an environment that demands high expectations for academic, vocational and personal excellence.’ The school operates according to values which we feel help to determine the culture, ethos and atmosphere of Durham Sixth Form Centre. We value: high quality, inspirational teaching and learning; excellent support, care and guidance; personal and professional integrity; ambition and progress for our students, our communities and ourselves. If you are energetic and passionate about post-16 education and have the skills and aptitude required for the role then we would welcome your application and look forward to hearing from you.
