About
St David’s Catholic College is an ideal step between high school and university, employment, or an apprenticeship.
Situated on a single campus in Penylan, learners get to enjoy independence and freedom, the first time in their lives that their education is now in their hands.
Known for its academic performance, St David’s only allows students aged 16 to 19 years old. This allows St David’s teachers to be specific and specialist in their knowledge of what that age group needs, and entirely focused on the curriculum involved with their subject, without distraction.

There are no fees to joining St David’s College, and you don’t need to pay to enrol.
