Established in 1965, St David’s College is an independent co-educational boarding and day school for pupils aged 9 to 19. The school provides a unique, truly holistic approach to learning and teaching which is as appropriate and successful for the most able academics as it is for those with complex barriers to learning such as dyslexia.
St Davids College
From our foundation in 1965, St David’s College has pioneered teaching that enables pupils to reach their full potential. Integral to this we aim to develop every child’s character, enabling them to gain an extraordinary range of skills, to discover true self-confidence, and appreciate a real sense of belonging.
Classroom teaching is seamlessly interwoven with our unique, wider curriculum – arguably one of the UK’s most impressive for a school of our size.
The curriculum is broad, deep and exciting at all ages. Every interest is catered for and nurtured – from traditional academic subjects to the more diverse Outdoor Education, Art, Performing Arts, Production Arts, Sport, Business and Entrepreneurship.
A combination of diagnostic screening, small class sizes, and teaching staff who all take post-graduate qualifications in multi-sensory teaching techniques ensures that every child of every ability level is understood and catered for – be that via academic challenge and mentoring or focused one-to-one tuition. At all levels, pupils thrive and exceed expectations.
Alongside mainstream classroom teaching, St David’s College has a highly regarded learning support centre – The Cadogan Centre – specialising equally in supporting pupils’ additional learning barriers (such as dyslexia) to advanced study skills for the most able and EAL for our international pupils.
The result is happy, engaged pupils who blossom into successful young adults ready to take their place in society with dignity and confidence.
