Enrichment Programme

Sixth Form life is about more than just academic study. We encourage our students to take an interest in the wider world around us through our PHSCE and General Studies programmes and a variety of guest speakers, courses, conferences, visits and seminars. We also offer the chance to take part in Games and our Enrichment programme which encompasses Creativity, Activity and Service The SL6 Student Committee and the Dunraven Sixth Form Council also give students the opportunity to have their say on matters which affect the Sixth Form and the school in general. The SL6 Committee is responsible for organising social events, including debates, discos, talent shows, bowling and sports events. The Debating Society enters national and local debating contests and the Sixth Form students take part in a number of schemes including the Engineering Education Scheme, debating contests, Model United Nations, Community Action programmes and Amnesty International.

Sixth Form Volunteer at the Windmill Gateway Club

Community action is your chance to give something back to the community. Once a week, usually on a Wednesday afternoon, our Sixth Form students can opt to work in one of a wide variety of community action projects. This year, for example, students are working as volunteers in hospitals, as classroom assistants in local primary schools and with the Windmill Gateway Club for young people with learning difficulties in Brixton. Others opportunities include the Sports Leadership Award. Sporting activities are also available to the Sixth Form on Wednesday afternoons, including squash, Tae Kwon Do, Keep Fit and weight-training, and the Sixth Form football team is entered for a number of cup matches.

Private Study

Sixth Form life at Dunraven offers you the opportunity to take on positions of responsibility and leadership within the school and to participate in and help organise many different school functions and events. You will be encouraged to take on responsibility for your own learning, and private study periods on the timetable will help bridge the gap between the structure of the GCSE timetable and the freedom you will experience at university.
