In the Thomas Hardye Sixth Form, we believe strongly that students should be given the opportunity to contribute to the wider community. To help with this we run a volunteers’ fair with local charities and organisations who outline the volunteer opportunities that they offer. In the past we have had the National Trust, Dorchester Police and Julia’s House, to name a few.

During their time in the Thomas Hardye School, students can take part in many exciting visits, locally, nationally and internationally. Most of these will be subject based, but there are also whole sixth form visits.

Sixth Formers have a range of sporting activities open to them. In recent years the sixth form has run an extremely successful Football team and Rugby team in the autumn and winter months. In terms of helping our students advance or maintain their sporting careers, sixth form PE staff also have excellent links with both Dorchester Rugby Club and Football Club and indeed many other sporting clubs within Dorset. Many of our students go onto earn both county and national honours.
