Welbeck DSFC is now opening its doors to non-military students who would wish to take advantage of our facilities without having to commit to a future Military or Civil Service Career; that is not to say they cannot join in the ensuing years though!
The Welbeck Private Scheme (WPS) takes sixth formers through an AS and A level programme with a co-curricular programme of military, leadership and fitness training. The College is proud of its academic prowess within the technical and engineering subjects; but this new scheme also now enables students to make best use of our facilities without the requirement for a military or civil service career.

The scheme ideally best suits those students who are likely to achieve either a grade A or A* in Mathematics and Physics (or Dual Award Science) at GCSE level. We recruit from the full range of state sector schools and we look to give that special youngster from these schools a unique opportunity to make a head start with their career at an early stage.
If you have reached this page it means you are interested in applying for a place at the College - well done and congratulations - you have taken the first step.....to the 'Welbeck Experience' where you will develop leadership qualities, discipline and self-confidence through a superior 6th form experience.

The WPS will complement the core student body which are sponsored by the UK's Royal Navy, Army, RAF and MoD Civil Service. As part of the Scheme you are outside the Ministry of Defence Scheme and you are not going on to join the Armed Services as part of the wider student body.
Following completion of your two years at the Sixth Form College - you will be able to move on to a University Degree course or leave the College and start a successful career as a leader at the forefront of your chosen profession. Please study the pages on this website and make sure you understand what is required of you or your sons and daughters whilst they are at Welbeck.

'No other UK Sixth form offers what we do. Our bespoke courses, our extra-curricular activities and our results, speak for themselves. The educational experience here is all about focus and being amongst people of a similar mind.'
