At St. Brigid’s we aim to provide a supportive and exciting sixth form experience, which gives students the opportunity to pursue academic interests whilst being guided by a team of excellent specialist teachers. Our school’s friendly and positive ethos enables young people to grow into adulthood with confidence, whilst cementing friendships.

The Sixth Form at St. Brigid’s is a time for students to develop a broader awareness and understanding of the world around them and how they play a part in shaping it. As a school with a strong faith, tradition and ethos, we hold the concept of service in high regard and are deeply committed to helping our students to become compassionate and resilient leaders. We believe that young people have the potential to bring about positive change both within the local and global community. Our sixth formers are role models for the rest of the school and a particularly rewarding aspect of this is their interaction with the younger pupils, further developing St. Brigid’s strong sense of community.

Small teaching groups mean students learn to listen and present their ideas with thought and coherence, preparing them for university learning. Teachers also have flexibility to personalise learning, whilst nurturing students’ individual interests within an atmosphere of support and challenge.

We enjoy an academic tradition, with our students regularly accessing high calibre universities such as Oxford and Cambridge and the institutions within the highly competitive Russell Group. Alongside this, we also have a strong culture of creativity and enquiry, as well as a track record of developing students as independent learners and as leaders. Many of our students go on to pursue careers in the creative arts and attend highly regarded courses, more recently at The Central School of Speech and Drama and The Arts Educational School, London, for example. All students are valued at St. Brigid’s and we are proud of all of our students fostering an atmosphere where everyone is appreciated for their individual strengths and talents.

At St. Brigid’s, we have our own Combined Cadet Force on site, which allows students in the senior school access to a range of experiences and to gain additional worthwhile qualifications from climbing and canoeing to marksmanship and flying. Our sixth form students regularly demonstrate leadership and initiative through their CCF experiences, whilst also developing significant team-working skills. The Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme is also run by our dedicated staff and this enables students to show their commitment to volunteering and lifelong learning, through acquisition of new skills, as well as determination when completing their expeditions.

As part of the Denbigh Consortium, we work closely with our neighbours, Denbigh High School in particular, as well as Coleg Llandrillo and Coleg Llysfasi. This is an extremely positive aspect of our sixth form experience as it enables students to access a broader curriculum offer as well as to make new friends. Our students enjoy the opportunity to study at another centre and this is an ideal step towards preparing for Higher Education.

I am very proud to introduce you to the sixth form at St. Brigid’s School. Please look at our prospectus for further information and do not hesitate to contact me should you wish to discuss anything or to arrange a visit.
