We encourage all prospective students to come and see for themselves all that Cardiff Sixth Form College has to offer.
What can I expect at a Cardiff Sixth Form College Open Day?
Open Days at Cardiff Sixth Form College are carefully structured to give prospective students and their families a genuine feel for life at the college. From the moment you arrive, you will be welcomed by current students and staff who are passionate about the CSFC community and eager to share their experiences.
During the day you will hear directly from the Principal about the college’s ethos, academic philosophy, and what sets CSFC apart from other sixth forms and independent schools. You will have the opportunity to tour the facilities — including classrooms, science laboratories, and common areas — and speak informally with subject teachers about the A Level programmes on offer. Our A Levels page gives a useful overview of the subjects available if you would like to prepare some questions in advance.
For families considering boarding, the Open Day includes a dedicated tour of our purpose-built, contemporary residential accommodation, led by our Head of Boarding. This is a wonderful chance to understand the pastoral support available, the day-to-day routines of boarding students, and how the college ensures every student feels safe, settled, and supported.
What if I can’t make it to a scheduled Open Day?
We know that not everyone can attend on a fixed date, particularly for families travelling from overseas. If a scheduled Open Day does not work for you, we are very happy to arrange an individual visit at a time that suits you. Simply complete the form on this page and a member of our admissions team will be in touch to arrange a suitable date.
Families who are based outside the UK may also like to explore the possibility of meeting our recruitment team at an international event. Our Meet Us In Your Country page lists upcoming visits and education fairs where our team will be present — it could be that CSFC is coming to a city near you.
How do Open Days connect to the admissions process?
Many families find that attending an Open Day is the moment they feel certain about whether CSFC is the right fit. It is also a natural first step into the admissions process — our team is always on hand during Open Days to talk through the application timeline, entry requirements, fees and scholarships, and any other practical questions you may have.
We look forward to welcoming you. In the meantime, if you have any questions at all, please do not hesitate to contact us at admissions@ccoex.com
At Open Days you will have a chance to listen to the Principal talk about the College’s ethos and what makes it unique, see the facilities first-hand, talk to students about their experiences of studying at Cardiff Sixth Form College, discuss individual subjects with staff, listen to how we approach careers and UCAS and learn about how to apply.
For those who are thinking of boarding there will be a chance to meet our Head of Boarding and visit our contemporary, purpose-built accommodation. Please do come armed with questions – we would be happy to answer them for you.
