Since its
formation in 1977, the College has continually improved its reputation
for academic success and for entry into higher education while remaining
firmly committed to a balanced programme of study, tailored to the needs
of the individual student.The
College is the designated Sixth Form for students from Northgate,
Neatherd and Litcham High Schools. Teaching is provided by staff
from
Neatherd and
Northgate High Schools and we enjoy good relationships between staff
and students. All teaching is carried out within the College but
occasionally some students make use of special facilities available at
the two high schools.
The Dereham Sixth Form aims to provide a
stimulating environment where individual student needs are recognised
irrespective of background, culture or ability and where academic
excellence and personal achievement is valued. Find out what to
