Welsh Baccalaureate


What is the Welsh Baccalaureate?
The Welsh Baccalaureate – or the Welsh Bac – is a new qualification, which recognises almost everything that young people do at school or college. It includes current, approved qualifications like A levels, GCSEs and NVQs and adds breadth and balance through a Core programme of activities.
It lets students develop and progress their key skills in line with their own abilities and interests. This will allow them to make greater progress, involving them in different learning opportunities and experiences. As a result, they will be better equipped for further and higher education and employment.


The Welsh Bac is divided into two parts:

Core
 consisting of four components i.e. Key Skills, Wales, Europe and the World, Work-related Education and Personal and Social Education.
   
Options courses/programmes currently offered e.g. GCSE, VGCSE, A/AS Levels, VCE (Vocational A levels), GNVQ, NVQ, BTEC.


We are pleased to announce that we have been selected by the Welsh Assembly to be a Welsh Baccalaureate School and this new and exciting course will be available to all Year 12 students in September 2007.

Further details or enquiries can be made to:
Mr D Thompson, Deputy Headteacher
