Welcome
Enjoy discovering about our school as you explore our website and to discuss how a Llandovery College education can transform your child’s life, just give us a call.
Our pupils receive a bespoke academic education tailored to excite and inspire young minds. We provide a stimulating and fulfilling learning environment where, in small class sizes, teachers have time to give each child the individual attention they deserve. The majority of our students are accepted into their first choice university including the Russell Group and Oxbridge.
Our success and reputation is built upon achieving the best academic results alongside a rich and varied sport and co-curricular programme that challenges every child and allows them to exceed their expectations. A wide range of opportunities are available which, accompanied with positive encouragement, builds confidence, develops responsibility and nurtures independence. A thriving House system offers all pupils, day or boarding, a true sense of belonging where they find their unique place as part of our Llandovery family.
We are extremely proud of our outstanding rugby heritage and achievements producing world class rugby players, with over 50 former Llandovery College students gaining over 500 caps for Wales - this record eclipses any other Welsh school in the history of the game. This incredible rugby tradition, that continues to this day, is built on passion, commitment and exceptional support for each and every student. This ensures we compete at the highest level of schoolboy rugby in the country.
As parents ourselves we know how important your child’s happiness is. At Llandovery College you can rest assured that they will be part of a happy, friendly and caring community where busy, purposeful days are filled with friendship, smiles and a lifelong love of learning.

More Able and Talented
From the moment your child arrives at our College, we take the initiative to identify and track exceptional talents and abilities, allowing them to flourish and gain confidence from an early age. If your child has a particular talent or shows exceptional potential, this is recognised and encouraged. Your child is unique and we adapt our teaching to what is best for them.
Through our small class sizes, positive relationships and passion for bringing out the best in our pupils, our More Able and Talented programme is tailored to provide the highest level of support, guidance and encouragement to maximise the potential of your child.
We aspire to provide a rich, challenging and rewarding education for the most able. Stimulating pupils through varied and challenging curricular and co-curricular activities encouraging them to try new things and develop existing interests and skills allowing them to achieve their full potential.
