In Driffield Sixth Form our current crop of superb Year 13 students are at the point of their education where they are gearing up for one final push towards the finishing line.
Revision timetables are being drawn up, past exam papers practised and flashcards being made.
It is also the time that students begin to finalise their choices for the future, securing employment or apprenticeships and choosing which universities they will study at (results pending!) This year’s students are particularly exciting as we have an increasing number ready to set out on unique, challenging and thrilling adventures.
They highlight that an education from Driffield really can take you anywhere! Read about just a few of them below:

After spending the last 7 years excelling on the sports field for Driffield School and Sixth Form, Jessie has been offered an amazing scholarship opportunity to study Physical Education in the USA whilst playing football for the “College Team”.
Jessie will be jetting off in August to join Northwest College Wyoming, just 70 miles from Yellowstone National Park. In stunning surroundings Jessie will get to play the sport she loves, whilst gaining a degree and enjoying all that the USA has to offer.

Abbie has secured a prestigious place to study at the University of London Institute of Paris and will be studying French at their Paris campus.
Already fluent in French, Abbie recently attended an applicant day in Paris and is all set to live and study in this exciting capital city from September.
It makes it much more difficult for her mum to help with the washing, but I’m sure that being in the city will more than compensate!

Already at diploma on double bass, Grade 8 on piano and for her singing Sophie has been successful in gaining an offer to study performance at Guildhall School of Music & Drama, London.
