Sixth Form Open Evening – Thursday 5 December 2024 6pm
The event will start with a brief presentation in the Sports Hall, followed with an opportunity to visit departments for subject presentations. We are very much looking forward to welcoming Year 11 students and their parents/carers.
Radyr Comprehensive School is ranked in the top 10% of UK schools for examination performance in the last five years with 53% of students achieving A*A and 72% A*B and 86% A*C in 2024.
However, whilst academic success is very important, we have so much more to offer in terms of the level of care, support and guidance afforded to our students.
We look forward to seeing you on 5 December 2024 at 6pm.
