Ysgol John Bright

Thank you for considering Ysgol John Bright Sixth Form. We are very proud of our students’ achievements and the fact that our A level outcomes have, for the last three years, put our Sixth Form in the top 25% of schools in the UK. We believe that equity, ellbeing and excellence are the cornerstones of a quality education and try to live by these core values in all that we do:• Not all students are afforded the same privileges in life, so our job in the Sixth Form is to make sure students get the personalised support and the experiences they need in order to reach their full potential;• Good mental and physical wellbeing is underpinned by good pastoral support from a well-trained and experienced Sixth Form team;• Excellence in everything we do, collectively as students and staff, is a fundamental priority for all of us in this Sixth Form.Above all else, Sixth Form should be a happy time where you grow from dependence on the supports necessary in childhood to the independence required in adulthood. We look forward to helping you find out who you are, where your talents lie and how to craft a successful future for yourself in an ever-changing world. Whilst we are proud of our track record of sending around two thirds of our students to University, many to Russell Group, we are just as proud of those who choose to start their own businesses, enter the world of work or embark on an apprenticeship.We try to make sure that all destinations after Sixth Form are valued equally, whilst always encouraging students to have the very highest aspirations. Through our close working relationship with Careers Wales, our use of products like ‘My Super Curricular’ and because of the extensive experience of the Sixth Form team, we have every confidence that with us you will get to know yourself and your talents well and how to apply them in the world when you leave us.Growing independence through providing leadership opportunities is important to us. Through joining one of our ten student committees you will have the chance to make a significant contribution to school improvement and grow your skills of communication and project management. We expect you to be active citizens at our school, making a wider contribution to school life through volunteering and representing us in all parts of school life.Our ambition is that the Sixth Form becomes a centre of excellence in the region where students can be sure that, because of our high expectations, our broad curriculum and outstanding pastoral support that they will go on to achieve extraordinary things. I do hope you consider joining us for the next part of your journey.Mr C DaviesHead of Sixth Form
