GCSE Results 2024 - St Illtyd`s Catholic High School is celebrating its best GCSE results ever this summer – across all subjects
St Illtyd`s Catholic High School is celebrating its best GCSE results ever this summer - across all subjects. Building on improved results before and since the pandemic the school is going from strength to strength as it enters its second century of providing a Catholic education to the young people in its care.
Mr David Thomas , Headmaster, said" It`s a wonderful set of results and a testament to the hard work of the pupils and staff. I am delighted that our pupils are now set up for the next stage of their lives and I am sure they will build on this and continue to be successful in the future. The school is very fortunate in the pupils and families that support it and it`s Catholic ethos. Our motto is "Together in Christ we make a difference" and that is what drives us in the classroom, on the sports field and on the stage.
We welcome a new year group in Year 7 soon and we are looking forward to their development - academically and spiritually - in the years ahead so that they too can strive to be all that they can. Well done everybody."

Pre-Loved School Uniform Donations Appeal
We are requesting kind donations of pre-loved school uniforms. As we all know, children grow quickly, and sometimes perfectly good uniforms are outgrown before they're worn out.
Donating your child's pre-loved uniform is a fantastic way to give back to the school community and promote sustainability. These gently used uniforms can be a lifesaver for families who may be struggling financially or new to the school.
We are accepting donations of all clean and good-condition uniform items, including:
- Blazers
- Shirts
- Skirts/Trousers
- PE kits
- Ties
Donations can be dropped off at the school office during regular school hours, 8am-3.30pm
We appreciate your support in helping us provide a cost-effective and environmentally friendly uniform option for all our students.
