Davenant Foundation School

Head of Sixth Form's WelcomeI am proud to welcome you to Davenant Sixth Form, which has been graded as providing outstanding provision by Ofsted in our recent inspection in Sept 2021. The high quality teaching and subject knowledge of staff, the incredible post-18 outcomes and the variety of enrichment opportunities on offer to our students, were particularly highly praised in our report. To quote a student who reflected the views of many when speaking to the Inspectors, ‘the school is beyond expectations.’ I am regularly impressed by the behaviour and courteous manner of our students as they work through what is invariably a challenging two years of A Level study. During this time they will be supported throughout by a dedicated and strong pastoral team including, myself, two Heads of Year, a Sixth Form Manager, a Careers Leader, a Careers Co-ordinator, our team of Librarians and Sixth Form Tutors. We ensure there is always a wide range of staff available to offer advice and help to our students.This is an exciting time as a brand new, state of the art Sixth Form building is being built for us and is due to open next year. This will include a large fully resourced library and study space along with careers centre, computer rooms and a large café and social area for the students. We are very privileged to have such a resource and you will be able to follow the progress of the building over the coming school year.We also have the Reynolds Lecture Theatre, within our school, and this provides university style lecture experiences for our students and an additional Year 13 silent study space. It is also a performance space for music and drama in the evenings with excellent audio visual facilities and a small café area. We are proud of the enrichment and extra-curricular opportunities we offer our students. From the full range of Duke of Edinburgh Awards through to volunteer work in our local community, our students leave us as well rounded young adults ready to face the bright futures ahead of them.I warmly invite you to visit our Sixth Form and look forward to meeting you in the future.
