Description

Dronfield Henry Fanshawe School is leading State Secondary school in Dronfield. This is a Non-selective school for kids age 11 to 18 years. Gender - Mixed

Dronfield Grammar School, later renamed the Henry Fanshawe School, was founded in 1578, by the will of Henry Fanshawe, whose wish it was for his nephew, Thomas Fanshawe, to establish the school. Henry Fanshawe had been a local boys' schoolmaster in the town, with a school on a small site on the outskirts of neighbouring Holmesfield. Although his school building no longer exists, a small lane leads into the fields, called 'Fanshawe Lane'. The present school succeeds three previous schools, the Henry Fanshawe School, Gosforth Secondary School and the Gladys Buxton School. The Henry Fanshawe School and The Gosforth School merged in 1990 to form The Dronfield School (a two site school) with the closure of the Gladys Buxton School, and this then became the Dronfield Henry Fanshawe School in 2004, a single site school, with the closure of the Gosforth site.

Through experiencing the curriculum, students develop knowledge, understanding and skills that enable them to thrive throughout life and develop a love for learning and which will enable them to continue their personal journey beyond DHFS and live a happy, safe and successful life. The curriculum enables students to leave school fully equipped for the modern world so that they are able to contribute as a positive citizen  within the immediate and wider community.  It promotes care, independence, responsibility, resilience, reflection and innovation and aims to encourage students to be ambitious and forward‐thinking so they can make a worthwhile contribution to society.  The curriculum enables students to progress, develop, grow and realise their highest aspirations. 

Sixth Form
At DHFS they operate a minibus service to and from Dronfield, stopping at various areas across North-East Derbyshire. We are aware that for many prospective sixth form students the travel to and from Dronfield can be challenging, expensive and time consuming, so we have sought to support students with regards to this travel.
