A Warm Welcome to Sir John Deane’s Sixth Form College

As our extraordinary results last year have shown, the College has a transformational effect on the lives of our students. A rich culture of academic excellence and opportunity beyond the classroom allows students to grow and develop, set ambitious goals and achieve the personal success they deserve.

Sir John Deane’s students are curious, caring and responsible. Curious to learn and to explore, caring about their future and the contribution they will make to the world and responsible for being the very best they can be.

We are committed to giving students a joyous and successful College experience, and on behalf of all teachers and current students we very much look forward to welcoming you to Sir John Deane’s.

“We are committed to giving you a joyous and
memorable College experience.”

Principal – Christopher Atherton
