St David's is known for high academic success in a supportive environment. In 2019, 28.3% of students achieved grade ‘A*’ or 'A' at A-Level and 405 students progressed to University - of which 40% went to Russell Group Universities (2020 grades and university statistics were higher).
While academic success remains important, St David's emphasises the importance of developing as a whole person, be that morally, emotionally or spiritually.
