Post 16 ​​​​​​​

Post 16 is about building on the foundations laid at GCSE to explore new and familiar subjects in greater depth and detail and look towards higher education and training and, eventually, a career that suits you. Whether you have a clear plan right now or are still exploring what’s out there, we will help you to take that next step towards your future and will support you to find a programme of study that inspires and challenges you for the next two years. At Coombe Dean we provide a place to become the adult you aspire to be. We expect a lot from you in terms of commitment and hard work and in return we will support you in every way we can, every step of the way. 

With approximately 180 students on roll, we are an inclusive sixth form offering a range of courses to take students on the next step of their learning journey. Coombe Dean works in partnership with Plymstock School and Hele’s School sixth forms to enable students to access a wider selection of academic and applied courses. 

Coombe Dean Post 16 is a place where you can explore interests and discover new talents, meet new friends and discover new abilities, and lay the foundations for the exciting futures you want.
