Academic
Cardiff Sixth Form College has a reputation for academic excellence and the results of the College at both GCSE and A Level certainly speak for themselves. Most students will study four A Levels, some study more, however we aim to extend our students knowledge of their subjects often beyond the curriculum through extension projects, research, Ted Talks, online courses and podcasts to fuel a passion for their subjects. We want students to be able to think for themselves, to understand and enjoy their subjects at a deeper level and to be encourage to explore areas of individual interest.
