Post 16
Drumragh Integrated College launched its Sixth Form provision in September
2000 with 36 students. We now have over 100 students in our Sixth Form studying
a diverse range of subjects. In addition to a high proportion of our own students
staying on to complete AS and A-level courses, we also have a number
of students from other local schools who choose to continue their education here
after GCSE.
As we are a relatively new Sixth Form we have been able to offer new and innovative
courses not offered in more established Sixth Forms. In September 2006, for example, we launched a new AS and A-level course in Moving Image. We always aim to respond
to student demand and in addition to the extensive range of subjects offered in the
College, we also work with Omagh College to enable students to avail of more
vocationally-orientated
courses, including A-Levels in
Construction and Childcare.
Sixth Form
Most students join us in
September, but we accept
students throughout the year.
Our view is that students of this
age require an approach which
takes account of their maturity
but which at the same time
recognises the need for
support in this transitional
phase of their education.
There is a strong emphasis on
allowing students the
independence they expect
whilst providing caring pastoral
support and close monitoring
of academic progress.
The Sixth Form facilities
include a supervised study room, a common room, a careers suite, a dedicated ICT
room and private study rooms for Year 14 students.
Each year, two students are selected
from Year 14 to represent the College
as Head Boy and Head Girl. Sixteen other
students are given the opportunity to
assume the role of Senior Prefect.
These Prefects are each assigned to a
form class from years 8-12 to co-ordinate
Student Council representatives and
provide a supporting role to each
student in their form class.
A separate booklet for prospective Sixth Form students is available with more
detailed information on our Sixth Form provision.
