Making the right choice
WITH so many places to study, what makes Cardiff Sixth Form College (CSFC) a standout choice? It is not its reputation for educational achievements, excellent facilities, enriching extra-curricular activities, and focus on individual care.
Neither is it merely its outstanding results with 98% A*-B grades being achieved in 2011 (84% of which were A*-A grades), or its awards, the most recent of which included two Crystal Awards for being first in the league tables for Top Co-educational Boarding School in the UK and Top Sixth Form College in the UK.
The college is ranked by the Spectator, a sister publication of the Dailytelegraph. The question, “What makes Cardiff Sixth Form College the stand out choice?” can only be answered by those who’ve experienced it:
- Lai Zong Bao from Lodge National School Kuching Career Aspiration: Medicine AS results: AAAA “The level of commitment the teachers show is unlike any other I have experienced before. While I was initially overwhelmed by the large quantities of homework and tests, I soon adapted. The school’s principle of ‘Practice makes perfect’ has rung true for me. By the time the exams came, I just knew I would be able to perform after all the hard work, time and effort put in not just by me, but also all the members of staff.
“The level of pastoral care is outstanding. Any problems I encountered were addressed and rectified swiftly by the Accommodation Officer. Progress meetings with the vice-principal allowed me to voice any concerns I have.
“My experience at CSFC has been thoroughly enjoyable. I would sincerely recommend CSFC, especially for the accelerated course I went through.”
- Mr and Mrs Sien Theng Chai from Selangor
“CSFC has been topping the UK Sixth-form College league tables for three consecutive years. This is all made possible by its exceptionally strong and dedicated team of teaching staff, coupled with the small class sizes. At CSFC, students have most of their weekends and term breaks occupied with compulsory extra classes and tutorials. CSFC greatly assists its students in acquiring highly desirable work experience placements. To unwind, shuttle services are provided to take the students to David Lloyds, a luxury sport and leisure centre.
“CSFC spends time and effort in guiding its students through the UCAS (Universities and Colleges Admissions Service) process. We are impressed that 100% of its students have successfully obtained respective offers from their desired universities, including the Oxbridge universities. CSFC provides a first-class sixth form education and is second to none.”
