Overview

over view

Our School is an outstanding community-focused, inclusive comprehensive school, where students are nurtured educationally, emotionally and socially.

We are extremely proud to be recognized as one of the top schools in Wales. We have been classed as a ‘Green Category / Band One school’ by the Welsh Government since 2012.

We have more than 200 students in our very successful Sixth Form, studying more than 30 subjects at A2 and A Level and also able to experience a range of vocational courses as well as a rich menu of extra-curricular activities. National ALPs data places our Sixth Form performance in the top 5% of schools in the UK.

From Year 7 to 11 we operate a five-form entry with approximately 150 students in each year group, coming to us from more than 26 feeder primary schools. Our younger students now have the opportunity to choose their GCSE options at the end of Year 8, allowing them a more measured study, preparation and examination timetable over an extended 3-year time period from Years 9 to 11. This in turn enables our teaching staff to identify where additional support is needed at an earlier point in time, easing the journey of our students through this important phase of their education and ensuring they achieve superb results whatever their level of ability.
