Each year around 80% of our leavers go on to university to study their firm choice course. Our highly experienced team of tutors and Heads of Year provide guidance to our Year 12 students to assist them in preparing their applications to UCAS, and DHSB also has an excellent record of supporting and sending students to Oxbridge and medical schools.
An increasing number of students are also successful in gaining Employment and Apprenticeships with firms nationally as well as local employers. We use the placement tool and a wealth of resource materials from unifrog to enhance their preparation for selection in these hard won career paths.
All students receive guidance on future careers from the school’s careers team and we continue to support our Gap year students in their applications the year after they leave us. Our aim is to ensure all boys and girls are fully prepared for their chosen path after they leave DHSB.
