Welcome to Charles Darwin School

The ethos of the Sixth Form aims to create ‘successful independent learners’ with a broad curriculum offer to cater for highly academic Oxbridge and Russell Group candidates but also ranging to suit the needs of applicants who may need to boost their L2 learning before moving into L3 assessment. Our results over the past three years have been in the highest percentage of value added achievement in the country for which we have received awards and recognition from ALPS along with praise from UCAS/universities on the quality of personal statements. Overall, we aim to raise aspirations and support pupils to reach their goals. The curriculum offer includes a pastoral curriculum designed to enhance key skills and prepare our students to be both competitive and competent in the world of work, whether that is before or after they attend university.

Enrichment Activities

Show all activities
At Charles Darwin School we have students who have a wide range of abilities and talents. Our most able students take part in enrichment activities to develop thinking, aspiration, and fostering an enquiring mind so to gain experiences to shape bright futures. Parents may have been familiar with the term 'gifted and talented' in the past. We refer to students as Potential High Achievers (PHA) as we believe that to be gifted or talented is not acquired, it is earned through hard work, excellent effort and risk taking through learning. All students have the potential to be high achievers with the right attitude and hard work.
