The Welsh Baccalaureate adds a valuable new dimension to the subjects and courses that pupils follow between the ages of 14 to 19. It encourages independence and adds ‘real life’ experience to the curriculum.

The Welsh Bacc combines experiences and projects that help pupils to develop as an individual, and will equip them for their next steps – for work, university and for life.

The qualification proves pupils have developed the Key Skills considered important by employers and universities. It also shows they have furthered their personal and social education, undertaken individual research, gained work experience and participated in a community project.

The Welsh Bacc has a strong focus on building strengths and will encourage pupils to think and study independently.

Pupils will meet with a personal tutor and other staff members regularly who will give them the guidance they need to help stay focused and to help reach their goals .
