St David'S College Description
The school’s aim is simple, to bring out the best in every pupil, whatever their abilities, strengths or weaknesses. St David’s believes true education is about getting to the core of every individual and takes a ‘whole person’ approach to teaching. The successful academic education received at St David’s goes further than simply transferring knowledge.
St David’s College’s commitment to the safety, health and well-being of its students has been highlighted in the school’s most recent series of inspection reports. As part of the excellent pastoral care at St David’s, the school has introduced such innovations as peer mediation and lessons in global citizenship. Many pupils very quickly feel part of the St David’s family with its unique, supportive and caring atmosphere.
The school’s academic success, with a 98% A-level pass rate and a majority of students successfully gaining entrance to university, is supported by an industry- leading outdoor education programme and a growing list of extra-curricular activities and clubs.
Education at St David’s is not just confined to the classroom. In addition to the traditional sports on offer, more than 20 excursions leave site each week including activities such as climbing, sailing, skiing, kayaking and kite buggying to name a few. Each year a number of expeditions are arranged further afield such as Kayaking in Canada, surfing in Morocco and even a husky expedition in Sweden. Within the campus there are a number of popular clubs and activities including 4x4 driving, horse riding, fishing, dance and drama. These all serve to build confidence, self-esteem and leadership skills in our students, which leads to an increased enthusiasm for school life.
In addition to a wide range of academic qualifications and leadership skills students leave St David’s with the foundations to reach their full potential. Every student has the freedom to flourish and the opportunity to excel.
With so much on offer at St David’s it begs the question: why just prepare for life when at St David’s you can live it?
