College Hub – Supporting Your Next Steps

Our College Hub is a dedicated outreach programme designed to support Year 11 students as they prepare for their next step after school. Each month, our team visits our feeder schools – Afon Taf High School, Blessed Carlo Acutis, Pen y Dre High School, Cyfarthfa High School and Idris Davies Catholic School – bringing expert advice directly to you.

During these sessions, you can explore your course options, discuss career pathways, and receive personalised guidance to help you make informed decisions about your future. You can also start and complete your application with us on the spot, making the transition to college simple and stress-free.
