Welcome to St Birinus School
Didcot Sixth Form is a vibrant mixed sixth form, with its own ethos, values and culture, drawing on the combined experience of the most expert teachers from both Didcot Girls’ and St Birinus Schools. We are recognised across Oxfordshire as the sixth form of choice for an exceptional A-Level education, and admired for our warm, welcoming climate, and ambitious and respectful culture. We pride ourselves on being a school sixth form, based within dedicated and bespoke sixth form facilities on the St Birinus site in Didcot. The combined resources of two high-performing schools enable us to offer the broadest possible A-Level curriculum, a rigorous and varied enrichment and extra-curricular programme, and the pastoral benefits that arise from existing within a school environment. We offer outstanding pastoral support and high-quality, personalised advice and guidance that ensures students progress towards ambitious next steps in higher education, apprenticeships and employment.We are very proud of Didcot Sixth Form. We believe that there is no better offer in South Oxfordshire for those value high-quality education and a rounded and enriching wider experience. If you are new to the Didcot schools, we hope you will visit and see us in action and that you will then be inspired to make an application.Mr James CrossDirector, Didcot Sixth Form
