St. David's Catholic College

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.

St David’s also has a strong reputation for its pastoral care. All learners have a pastoral tutor, who guides and supports them during their time in college. Additionally, the College has excellent well-being support as well as dedicated guidance to careers and employment opportunities.

St David’s has the most diverse student body of any College in Wales. The mission of St David’s is to be a college that serves its community, and that community involves all. In 2022-23 St David’s had learners from over 50 different cultures and countries.

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

The only fee involved is for students studying a health and social care course, where a DBS check is required as part of the course.
