A Word from the Head

'The distinct advantage of the small schools is simple, we all know all the pupils and we know how to teach them.' Llandovery College has something special to offer young people. There is also something special at Llandovery for parents, they know that their children are seen as individuals and treated as such. In addition families have, proportionally, a large say in matters compared to a larger school. Likewise pupils have access to staff, facilities and experiences in greater measure than in a bigger school.

ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE
The school offers 23 A levels and 18 GCSE courses. Option choices at A level are decided by the selections made by pupils and courses are put on even if only very few pupils wish to study the subject. This is often the case with minority subjects such as Latin, Greek and Classical Civilisation. GCSE and A level results are some of the very best in Wales. For example, last year 55% of A levels were graded A or B and 83% were at C or above, with all leavers going on to university, some after a Gap year.

EXTRA CURRICULA AND SPORTING ACHIEVEMENT
With fewer numbers, pupils have greater opportunity to engage in more activities at a higher level for more of the time. Pupils are more likely to gain high office in the Combined Cadet Force, secure parts in school drama productions, become College prefects, perform in concerts and be invited to take part in other exciting initiatives. Approximately half of the Upper Sixth will gain the Duke of Edinburgh Gold Award before they leave school. The College also has its own 9-hole golf course, 50 acres of sports pitches, a large sports hall and all the other sporting facilities one would expect in a school of a much larger size. The main difference is access: with the smaller numbers pupils have easy access to all facilities during the day and in the evening.

The school has boys and girls representing the county and the country in a range of sports including tennis, fencing, running, shooting, athletics, cross country, hockey, cricket and rugby.
