After Deptford Green School, our pupils move to a large number of sixth forms and colleges. The diversity of our students, the range of their talents, aptitudes and interests and our location means that they have a variety of different options open to them. We have good relationships with a variety of providers that meet their needs.

The two most popular sixth form colleges in the vicinity are Christ the King Emmanuel in Lewisham and Christ the King Aquinas in Brockley where pupils can study academic and vocational courses. Some students choose to study at schools with sixth forms with Bacons College, Haberdasher Aske’s Hatcham and Prendergast Hilly Fields all popular.

Students interested in a college environment and vocational courses typically move to Bromley College, Lambeth college, Westminster Kingsway or City of Westminster.

Every year, pupils also choose to attend sixth forms in Kent Grammar Schools or Harris Westminster and have had students take up scholarships at Colfe’s and Blackheath High.

Unsurprisingly, in a school where performing arts are so popular, Deptford Green students are regularly selected by to The Brit School and Elam.
