The St. David’s Sixth Form College’s Strategic Plan 2021-2025, ‘The Way, the Truth and the Life’, outlines the College’s vision and key objectives for the period until 2025.

The mission statement provides the basis of the college’s admissions priorities.“A Catholic college for the community, seeking to discover and realise the full potential of all in an atmosphere of love, service and respect inspired by Christ”.

St David’s Catholic Sixth Form College is committed to ensuring that whenever its staff mark candidates’ work this is done fairly, consistently and in accordance with the awarding body’s specification and subject-­‐specific associated documents.

St David’s Catholic College is committed to providing a high quality of education to all its learners. We believe that at our College provides an excellent education for all its learners, and that the staff work hard to build positive relationships with its learners, parents and other stakeholders. However, the College is committed to having procedures in place in case there are any complaints about the level of service experienced.

The College is committed to supporting the principle of equal opportunities, and opposes all forms of unlawful discrimination including on the grounds of colour, race, nationality, ethnic origin, sex, marital status, disability, part-time or fixed term status, parental responsibilities, age, religion/belief, or sexual orientation.

This Privacy Notice provides information about the collection and processing of children’s or young people’s personal and performance information by St. David’s Catholic Sixth Form College (hereby referred to as St. David’s). 

The Prevent Strategy is part of wider college Safeguarding Policy which seeks to promote and safeguard the well-being of children and vulnerable adults. The Prevent Strategy is applicable to the whole college community, including Governors, teaching staff, support staff, students and volunteers.

Safeguarding is about protecting young people and adults from abuse or neglect and educating those around them to recognise the signs and dangers. The Social Services and Well-being (Wales) Act has introduced a strengthened, robust and effective partnership approach to safeguarding. One of the most important principles of this Act is that it is everyone’s responsibility.

This policy relates to studentship, including learner attendance, punctuality, behaviour, and completion of assignments. The Studentship policy details the process undertaken in the event of a breach of college expectations of good studentship.

The aim of the policy is to ensure the Welsh Language Standards are fully applied in the college and facilitate public-facing bilingual services at St David’s Catholic College, be that for learners, staff, or members of the public, and to promote a bilingual ethos.
