Sixth Form

At Ysgol Gyfun Heolddu Comprehensive School, our Sixth Form aims to develop well-informed, resilient, and ambitious learners who are prepared for their next steps in higher education, training, or employment.

We support students to develop a lifelong love of learning, build confidence, and achieve their potential through high-quality teaching, personalised guidance, and a wide range of experiences and opportunities.

Our Sixth Form team works closely with students to help them make informed decisions about their futures and become valued contributors to their local and global communities.
