The Bac provides the opportunity to acknowledge the great variety of internal and extra curricular activities for which the school's students are famous for presenting across Wales.
It is an advantage that the school is an accredited centre for key skills. This means that we have the right to assess, standardise and moderate with the aid of OCR, the external agency.
