Looking forward to another year of creativity, fun and outstanding achievement!


Today was the start of another exciting year at d’Overbroeck’s College with over 130 students joining, meeting teachers, making friends and receiving timetables helped by our team of new student mentors (pictured above). Lessons begin tomorrow when there’ll also be time to find new hobbies or develop existing interests at the Activities Fair.

With d'Overbroeck's students achieving such great results this summer, new and returning students will have a lot to live up to. Amongst the many achievements by students last year were the fantastic performances in the College Musical and Winter Concert, a Maths Gold Olympiad triumph, a top entry in the Royal Economics Society national essay competition, a successful Target 2.0 team, 5 distinctions in the AQA Baccalaureate and two students selected for the Goldman Sachs management course ‘Women in Business’.

When you add to these successes events such as the annual ski trip, a History and Politics visit to the USA, charity events for the Japanese tsunami, the College ball and numerous social and sports activities it was a truly busy and fulfilling year, one we’re looking forward to repeating this year!
