Didsbury Sixth Form

Open the door to the future of your choice at Didsbury Sixth Form.

Unashamedly Academic

For state students it hasn’t always been a level playing field, until now. We are unashamedly academic with a reputation for the relentless pursuit of excellence and a determination to ensure that every child succeeds.

Our Vision

For every student, regardless of background or circumstance, to acquire the knowledge and develop the qualities which will open the door to the future of their choice.

We are excited to welcome you to âÓ¶¹appÏÂÔØ (DHS). DHS opened in September 2019 and is a member of the family. In September 2023, we opened the doors to Didsbury Sixth Form, a brand new academic Sixth Form on our school site.

We work hard to ensure that every member of our school community has access to a rich and diverse range of opportunities. For our students, this is provided through our four Cornerstones: Academic Aspiration, Leadership and Service, Culture Creativity and Rhetoric, and Competition and Physical Endeavour. We believe that these four Cornerstones underpin an educational experience which will prepare students for life beyond school and deliver our vision.

In 2023, we were rated Outstanding in our first ever Ofsted report. The report stated that students ‘benefit from the school’s aspirational approach to their education’ and highlighted how ‘staff are immensely happy to work here.’

At âÓ¶¹appÏÂÔØ, your child will be provided with the guidance and support to open the door to the future of their choice, with the prospect of going on to study at Didsbury Sixth Form.Ìý
