student profiles...

We work exclusively with your age group...

Is independence important to you? At 16 and 17 years old you have a choice of where you want to study. You don't have to stay at your 11-16 or 11-18 school.

At Durham Sixth Form Centre, you'll be with like minded people of the same age, who want to work hard, do well and get on in life. We're a tight-knit community of 1000 students who, with the help of your teachers, set high standards and aspire to achieve them.
