St David’s College

Co-educational Boarding and Day in Llandudno, Conwy

Forget ordinary — St David’s College takes education to the next level. Since 1965, this pioneering independent co-educational boarding and day school for ages 9-19 has been crafting a learning experience as individual as its students. Here, traditional academics meet exciting opportunities in sport, performing arts, design technology, award-winning outdoor education and more. It’s a space where students can explore their passions, uncover hidden talents, and prepare for whatever comes next. Central to the St. David’s experience is a holistic approach to education; one that values every learner’s potential. Whether students excel academically or face unique challenges, they are supported to thrive in an environment that fosters growth and confidence. The result? Happy, engaged learners who grow into well-rounded young adults.

 

St David's is recognised as one of Wales' leading schools for dyslexia. Teachers here use multi-sensory techniques to create an inclusive, supportive environment with lessons that align with how each individual pupil learns best. These tailored approaches have a lasting impact. Will Greenhalgh came to St. David’s with the odds stacked against him. I was told I wouldn't succeed due to my dyslexia," he says. "But thanks to the custom learning here, I not only excelled academically but built the confidence I lacked. I took three CSEs early and scored all 8s, proving to myself that I can achieve anything."
