Senior School Prospectus

A regular and rigorous reporting system is in place in the Senior Section.

Each

student has personalised, ambitious targets in all subjects which are assessed

every six weeks, and a brief report is sent home. This ensures that problems

don’t go unnoticed or unaddressed, and that parents always know how things are

progressing. Classes are taught by well-qualified specialists, enthusiasts for their

subjects, who ensure a brisk, orderly and purposeful atmosphere for learning.

The style of teaching in the sixth form is ‘pre-university’, more tutorial and

discussion-led than GCSE lessons. We are regularly recognised, whether by the

schools inspectorate Estyn, or in newspaper ‘league tables’, as one of the highest

achieving schools in Wales academically, and young people have gone on from

here to secure places at the most prestigious universities in the UK, and beyond.

such words as improvement, achievement
