The Sixth Form is open to any student who will benefit from the education and opportunities that we offer. All students are offered guidance on the range of options open to them in advance of joining the Sixth Form. We have an outreach program that involves support for students from Ysgol Afon Wen and Ysgol Bro Taf who may be thinking of joining our Sixth Form. Support can be provided for students who want to join us from any other school – just get in touch with us and we will do all that we can to assist you.
We work closely with Ysgol Y Pant at post-16 to form a Sixth Form consortium that offers a broad range of opportunities and experiences. This gives students access to a wide range of A Level and Level 3 courses taught by experienced subject specialists.
The Sixth Form at Bryn Celynnog provides you with:
- The opportunity to obtain academic and vocational qualifications which are required for higher and further education and employment
- The opportunity to thrive in a purpose-built Sixth Form facility, supported by caring staff with vast experience in supporting post-16 students
- The opportunity to take responsibility for your future and to develop a wide range of personal and leadership skills
- The opportunity to participate in social activities, charity work and community activities both in and out of school
- Sixth Form teaching staff who are experienced, committed, caring, of high quality, and who place great emphasis on encouraging you to fulfil your potential
At Bryn Celynnog we are very proud of the nurture that we provide each and every student. The support that we provide throughout your time in the Sixth Form includes:
- Guidance to choose options that will allow you follow an educational pathway that is suitable for your future ambitions
- Support from both your subject teachers and the Sixth Form staff to ensure that your academic potential is achieved
- Individualised advice throughout the UCAS application process in order to help you to determine the correct future pathway for you
- Personal statement clinics and one-to-one support to ensure that you have a high-quality personal statement that really highlights your strengths
- Access to the Seren Academy for qualifying students. This provides additional support for super-curricular activities and university applications
- Individualised care and support from the time you join us until after you receive your results. This includes support with the UCAS clearing process if required. A dedicated team of staff will support you to secure an appropriate course or alternative pathway should your plans change
Whether you have joined our Sixth Form as a student from Bryn Celynnog, or from other local schools such as Ysgol Afon Wen, Ysgol Bro Taf, or Ysgol Garth Olwg, you will receive the same high-level of pastoral care, guidance and support in order to make the most of the opportunities available at Bryn Celynnog Sixth Form.
