Additional information
Students and parents are given detailed information, advice and guidance on making choices at 14+ and 16+. This is to ensure information is as up to date as possible.
Which way next?
The Dearne High School prides itself on assisting students in making the right decisions about their future. A planned programme of events runs during Years 10 and 11, to inform parents and students about available careers options. |
We have an on site Careers Officer who is situated in the school careers office where a range of literature is available. |
We have well established links with Barnsley College and Dearne Valley College. We have our own Link Tutor from the Colleges and our Careers Education Co-ordinator can put you in contact with the colleges.
Charging for School activities
Charging for education is now covered by the Education Reform Act, 1988. The basic principle is that education for students in maintained schools should be free if it: a) takes place in school hours; b) is outside school hours but is required |
in the syllabuses for public examinations.
On occasions it may be requested that a voluntary contribution is given towards the cost of an activity but students whose parents do not make a contribution will not be treated differently. Letters to parents will include this information and will inform that if insufficient contributions are not forthcoming the activity may have to be cancelled. Charges can be made for board and lodging on a residential visit.
