Driffield School & Sixth Form Open Evening
On Thursday 16th October at 5:30pm, Driffield School & Sixth Form will host their Sixth Form Open Evening.
The event will be held in the Sixth Form areas with information available on all subjects, as well as the other programmes and support that the Sixth Form offers potential applicants.
Mr Andrews, Head of Sixth Form, said: “It is a very exciting time for students as they approach the end of their GCSE studies and they begin to look to the future and the potential pathways that they may follow in order to realise their dreams.
“Our role is to help them on that journey, providing exceptional guidance and support and high academic challenge to ensure that they reach their potential.
“Our outcomes continue to remain high and this year saw a wonderful Year 13 cohort excel.
“This year 92 per cent of our students applying to university secured their first choice, compared to the national average of 82 per cent with 32 per cent going to the prestigious Russell Group Universities, highlighting that our destinations are truly outstanding.
“We continue to be proud of our tremendous track record in securing places on competitive courses such as Medicine, Dentistry and Veterinary Medicine.
“Additionally, in recent years we have seen record numbers secure competitive apprenticeships with major national and global companies such as Rolls Royce, Sewells, Airbus, Arcadis and Nestle after taking part in our employment programme.
“This night is an opportunity for students and parents to investigate the large range of courses that we offer here, helping to determine a pathway for the future.
“Students and parents can also find out about the range of programmes that we offer to support student applications for apprenticeships, careers in medicine and an Oxbridge application.
“Guidance is one of our greatest strengths and it is the quality of the relationships that students develop with staff here that enables them to succeed.
“We are a community that will support students through an exciting period of their life, helping them transition into an independent young adult ready to take their place in the world.
“The sixth form is ready to offer a new learning experience, with an emphasis on excellence, independence, support and challenge.
“We value each student highly as an individual and want them to start their A-level journey here with us.
“We look forward to welcoming you to the evening”.
