Our Sixth Form

Destinations

Most of the students in our 6th Form progress to undergraduate study; many to Russell Group universities, with Cardiff being a popular destination.

We also provide advice and support for other Post-18 pathways and have many students who progress onto the Armed Forces; Apprenticeships (including Degree Apprenticeships) and those who take a gap year before progressing to Higher Education.

Russell Group Universities

The Russell Group’s 24 members are world-class, research-intensive universities. They maintain the very best research, an outstanding teaching and learning experience and unrivalled links with local and national business and the public sector.

Russell Group universities have huge social, economic and cultural impacts locally, across the UK and around the globe:

  • They produce more than two-thirds of the world-leading research produced in UK universities and support more than 260,000 jobs across the country.

Russell Group members also have a strong role and influence within their regional and local communities, collaborate with businesses on joint research projects and supply highly-qualified and highly-motivated graduates to the local workforce.
