General information

With a reputation for outstanding educational achievement, excellent facilities and enriching extra‑curricular activities, Cardiff Sixth Form College focuses on individual care and inspires students to make the most of their unique talents.

Tradition is important. Every school needs a culture. At Cardiff Sixth Form College, however, our culture is thoroughly in the present-day. Many English boarding schools rely on long histories and heritage. Here at Cardiff, we look forward. We want to build for the future and be the standard by which all schools are judged. And our results show we are already on the way…

In 2016, 93% of students achieved A*-A grades at A-level, whilst 99% of students achieved A*-B grades. For seven years running we have been awarded Top Private School in the UK, Top Private Co-educational Boarding School and Top Private Sixth Form College in the Educational Advisers' Awards. In addition, we have been ranked number one for A-Level results in league tables published by The Daily Telegraph and The Times for four consecutive years.

Our students have had considerable success in gaining places to study high‑demand courses at university, such as medicine, economics, law and engineering. Successful applications have been submitted to the most prestigious universities in the UK, including Oxford and Cambridge. In 2016, 18 students gained entry to Cambridge, 45 to medical school and 39 to UCL, LSE or Imperial College.
