Admissions

The Bishop of Llandaff usually admits up to 160 places to students in Year 12. Current students at school are given priority of admission, providing they meet entry requirements. However, each year we admit a number of students from other schools in the local and wider area who wish to attend our sixth form.

Students who apply do so knowing that the school aims to provide an education based on Christian principles and therefore governors expect all students to play an active role in our school ethos.

Admissions for September 2023
Year 11 students (existing and external) are invited to attend our Open Evening on Thursday 17th November 2022. This will commence at 5.30pm until 7.30pm, with presentations from the Head of Sixth Form and Headteacher. There will also be an opportunity to visit subjects and speak to students/staff about the various courses on offer.

Application forms are available from this date and should be completed by Friday 16th December 2022.

If, after results day, your actual GCSE grades do not meet the requirements for your chosen route it will be necessary for you to re-consider your option choices in consultation with the Head of Sixth Form.   Students are able to study one subject at either Whitchurch or Radyr where available.
