About Us

 

 

Thank you for your interest in Sir John Deane’s College.  This Prospectus has been prepared to help you make two key decisions: 

 

 

 

Please remember that the Prospectus is only part of the process: staff will be pleased to help you make your choices, whether through visits to your High School, individual interviews, or special events arranged in College for prospective students. 

 

The College has a long-standing reputation for educational excellence, most recently celebrated by the award of another “outstanding” verdict in our latest Ofsted inspection report (published April 2008). 

 

We place a very strong emphasis on equality of opportunity for all our students and are committed to helping each individual to fulfil his or her academic potential. We also believe wholeheartedly in ‘the education of the whole person’.  We therefore aim to provide students with the opportunity to live and work in an atmosphere that is both adult and caring, and to contribute to the organisation of the College community and to its many activities.  We aim to provide a broad, challenging and successful experience, which prepares students well for their next vital step, be it Higher Education, training or employment, but is also thoroughly enjoyable in its own right. 

 

Of course, success at Advanced Level requires self-motivated, independent study, and we will encourage very high standards. Hence, our main entry qualification is a genuine commitment to study, sustainable over the whole course, to ensure that your valuable time here is properly rewarded.  If you can make that commitment, and if the College appeals to you, we look forward to receiving your application and to making you welcome next September.
