At Dinnington High School, we have a vibrant Sixth Form offering a wide range of A level, BTEC qualifications and Technical courses. We are a growing Sixth Form with high academic standards and we prepare students for a successful future, whether this is at university, in further training or employment.
We are proud of our reputation for excellence – the majority of students completing a two-year course progress into higher education or employment. This excellent record is just one of the reasons why we are a popular choice for students. Why not join us and become part of our tradition of success? We have a proven track record of success with Sixth Form students. Our results continue to rise with 2017 being record breaking, above national and Rotherham averages. This resulted in many students securing places at top universities and apprenticeships.
If you are already a Dinnington High School student, you will not be required to complete an application form. The Sixth Form team will invite you to interview in the Autumn term.
