Welcome to Dixons Sixth Form, Bradford

Welcome and thank you for your interest in our outstanding college. D6A opened in 2019, and we have rapidly established a reputation that is second to none. Our students follow highly academic pathways, and their progression to university is outstanding. These are some of the reasons that in May 2023, Ofsted judged the college to be outstanding in all areas. The key ingredient to our success is our students. We have nearly 1300 students from across Bradford and the wider region that are focused on developing themselves and achieving excellent results while studying at D6A. It is simply a great place to study with specialist teachers in all subject areas. It is also a great place to grow, with a fantastic range of enrichment opportunities to help develop you outside of your academic studies. It is hard to explain what is so special about D6A and why we believe we should be the first choice for students - but if you experience our Big Iftar Meal, Culture Day, D6A Pride, YR1 trips, BBQ charity fundraiser in addition to the support and guidance provided by staff to all students in the run-up to exams, you will feel something unique and special! There is lots of information in this prospectus that we hope you will find useful. Feel free to visit us at our Autumn open evening events and if you want to apply for a place at D6A, please apply online before 31st Dec 2025.
