- St Michael’s School in Llanelli, Carmarthenshire, was rightly proud of its 2025 A-level results, with 96.4 per cent of students gaining at least one A*/A grade. All of those who received an offer from the University of Cambridge achieved a place, with the vast majority of pupils securing a spot at their first-place university choice.
- Traditional sports are popular, but there are also clubs for chess, climbing, skiing, golf, knitting and debating, and lots of special interest groups. Boarders have access to an additional programme of activities during weekends. The school plays an active part in the community and is proud to support the local food bank and charities through donations and volunteering.
- Students can also gain London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art (Lamda) qualifications, compete in the UKMT Maths Challenge, take musical and theatrical grades, and earn the Extended Project Qualification.
- Qualified mental health first-aiders are on site, and a counsellor and therapist visit the school one day a week. This service is also available during the school holidays.
- Scholarships are awarded based on an entrance test in year 7. Bursaries are available only to existing pupils whose financial circumstances have unexpectedly changed.
