Creating an environment within which passions can blossom is not confined to the classroom. Our extensive Co-curricular programme runs during the week and reflects both ‘breadth and depth’, allowing pupils to explore new interests as well as develop expertise in existing passions across a wide range of academic societies, sport clubs, drama and music groups.
The programme reinforces invaluable skills and qualities, developing empathy, loyalty, teamwork and leadership, nurtured most conspicuously in the College’s outstanding Combined Cadet Force and Duke of Edinburgh’s Award scheme.
Llandovery College embraces individualism. Elite sportsmen and women sing in the College Choir, they play the harp at concerts and win prizes for art. Likewise, boys and girls who thought they were ‘not sporty’ discover the thrill of participation through an inclusive and accessible co-curricular programme.IntroductionExperience an exciting adventure...CO-CURRICULARDuke of Edinburgh AwardThe Duke of Edinburgh’s Award scheme is the world’s leading achievement award for young people and we are proud that the majority of our pupils are working towards multiple awards.
