St Michael's School

Overview

St Michael’s School first established in 1923 and has been situated in Bryn since 1928.

St Michael’s is a local school with a national reputation, consistently listed in the UK top 100 Independent Schools for A level results. We have regularly been placed first Co-Educational Independent School in Wales for GCSE results, at times achieving a remarkable 75% at grade A and A*. Almost all of our sixth form pupils go on to the universities of their choice and we have a long tradition of sending pupils to Oxford and Cambridge. Our pupils shine academically and we are proud of the learning environment we foster. It is one where gifted and talented students can really be stretched, but also one which supports and encourages less able pupils and helps them flourish academically.

The school stands in its own private grounds of several acres in the village of Bryn which overlooks the Gower Peninsula. The school is well placed for Llanelli, Swansea and beyond. We attract pupils from a wide geographical area and arrange coaches for pupils which serve a number of routes.
