St Clare's School Porthcawl Sixth Form

The Sixth Form is the start of a journey of exploration leading to college, university or higher level employment. The majority of our Senior School pupils progress into the Sixth Form and many join from other schools.

We offer a broad range of subjects at Advanced Level. This may vary slightly each year depending on the interests of the cohort of pupils. We are also able to offer internet-based distance-learning courses, such as Law and Accountancy, through the Open Learning Academy.

Sixth Form pupils are taught in small tutorial-style groups. They have their own Common Room and kitchen facilities, allowing for independence within the school community. Quiet areas are also set aside to provide for independent study.

The Sixth Form at St. Clare’s provides strong pastoral care to help achieve academic excellence and personal maturity.

All pupils are encouraged to take part in a range of extra-curricular activities that are on offer, as well as residential courses, field trips and university lectures. This is seen as a valuable stage in their education and helps them onto the next rung of the ladder in their development.
