Years 7 to 9

A broad and deep curriculum in Years 7-9 guides pupils of all ability levels.

We encourage them to grow and explore their talents and interests, ensuring that they are stretched and supported in all academic areas and in the wider curriculum.

This is the time for our pupils to have a go at everything. The curriculum is delivered in small classes (an average of 12 pupils) by subject specialists. In this environment, all learning styles can be identified and accommodated – a hallmark of the St David’s College educational journey. All teachers take the post-graduate BDA Level 5 Certificate (or equivalent) in Dyslexia, Literacy, Support, and Intervention.

Core subjects include Mathematics, English, Art, Design, and Technology, Digital Technology, Geography, History, Outdoor Education, Performing Arts, Music, RE, Science, Spanish, Welsh, and Sport. Year 9 pupils can also opt to take Engineering.
