Why choose St David’s College?

The school has developed a unique, truly holistic approach to learning and teaching which is as appropriate and successful for the most able academics as it is for those with complex barriers to learning. At all levels, pupils thrive and exceed expectations.

A combination of diagnostic screening, small class sizes, and teaching staff who all take post-graduate qualifications in multi-sensory teaching techniques ensures that every child of every ability level is understood and catered for – be that via academic stretch, challenge and mentoring or focused one to one tuition. Alongside mainstream classroom teaching, St David’s College has a highly regarded learning support centre - The Cadogan Centre - specialising equally in supporting pupils’ additional learning barriers (such as dyslexia) to advanced study skills for the most able and EAL for our international pupils.

Classroom teaching is seamlessly interwoven with our unique, wider curriculum – arguably one of the UK’s most impressive for a school of our size.

The curriculum is broad, deep and exciting at all ages. Every interest is catered for and nurtured - from the traditional academic subjects to the more diverse Outdoor Education, Art, Performing Arts, Production Arts, Sport, Business, Computer Aided Design and Engineering.

Underpinned with a supportive Christian ethos, the result is happy, engaged pupils who blossom into successful young adults ready to take their place in society with dignity and confidence.

In a small school such as St David’s College, every child is seen and valued as a vital part of the community. The caring, Christian ethos creates the critical feeling of belonging which is the hallmark of a St David’s College education.

Our 30-acre Victorian grounds are located in the most beautiful setting in North Wales, with the Irish Sea and mountains of Snowdonia on our doorstep. The freedom to make the great outdoors a part of everyday life at St David’s College is key to our unique, holistic, education package.
