Students
Currently there are 170 students entered for the Advanced Baccalaureate. The school will look to enter more students for the Intermediate course next year.
Of special note....
The Welsh Bac is delivered through five timetabled lessons a fortnight. All students have to study the Bac as part of the enrichment programme in the Sixth Form. Students are encouraged to obtain Key Skills through the Bac with some elements covered in subject lessons. The students have one to one tutorials with the AHOY in the Sixth Form once a term, during free periods. Elements of the Bac are covered through classroom teaching, trips or outside speaker visits.
