Care
“Cardiff really helped me develop skills in leadership which I had never done before and I had the opportunity to be in the NASA team, on the debate committee and I was also honoured to be elected as Head Girl which I am very grateful for.
I am still in touch with lots of my friends from Cardiff. The staff have been extremely helpful in shaping my career.”

“Cardiff Sixth Form College really gave me that independence that really allowed me to push forward and gain traction in my studies. It really did prepare me for university, for example debating really helped my communication skills and I don’t think I would be here without the experience that I had there.
I really found the careers department a particular help; the interview preparation that I received and also the entrance tests assistance was invaluable.”

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.
