Duchy College Sixth Form Taster Morning – Saturday 22nd November 2025

As we prepare for a new co-ed era as Duchy College from September 2026, we’re delighted to invite you to join the first ever Duchy College Sixth Form Taster Morning.

We believe Sixth Form should be one of the most exciting times in a student’s life. A new era of learning, marked by significant development both academically and socially. A time of growing independence and yet also a time when expert support, guidance and advice are needed more than ever by both pupils and parents.

Our Sixth Form students are part of our main school community and are supported and known in our nurturing environment. Small class sizes and interactive, tutorial style teaching enable pupils to develop their academic passions and reach their full potential. In Sixth Form we have a focus on individual research and pupils are allocated their own private study which will be located in the new Sixth Form Centre from September 2026.

Who Should Attend?

Our Sixth Form Taster Morning Sixth Form Taster Morning is specifically designed for pupils currently in Year 11 (or Upper 5 as we call it) and their parents. It takes place on Saturday 22nd November from 9am to 1pm.  Spending the morning with us will give you the chance to take a deep dive into life in our Sixth Form.
