Year 11 at Ysgol Bro Teifi is a pivotal year for our students, as it marks the final stage of Key Stage 4 (KS4) and the culmination of their GCSE studies. During this year, students focus intensely on preparing for their GCSE exams, which take place in the summer term. These exams are crucial, as the results will determine their future educational and career paths, whether they decide to continue in the school’s Sixth Form, pursue further education at college, or enter the workforce through apprenticeships or other routes.
Throughout Year 11, students at Ysgol Bro Teifi follow a structured timetable that balances revision, coursework, and classroom learning. They are guided by their teachers to refine their understanding of the subjects they have been studying over the past two years. Core subjects such as Welsh, English, Mathematics, and Science remain central, but students will also be finalising work in their chosen options. Regular assessments, mock exams, and targeted interventions help students track their progress and address any areas where they might need additional support.
In addition to the academic pressure, Year 11 is also a time for personal growth and decision-making. Students are encouraged to think about their future plans and make informed choices about the next steps in their education. The school offers careers advice, open days, and one-to-one support to help guide students through this process. Furthermore, many will attend open evenings to learn more about Sixth Form options, including the courses available at Ysgol Bro Teifi itself. Balancing revision with well-being is also important, and the school provides resources to help manage stress during this busy period. Overall, Year 11 is a challenging yet rewarding year that lays the foundation for students' futures.

Staff from Profi/Menter Gorllewin Sir Gâr visited the school today and last Friday to prepare our Year 11 pupils for the world of work. This is a first in a series of activities in the partnership between the school and Profi.
Pupils registered today on the Profi website and completed a Skills Quiz. This was in preparation for Year 11's CV writing workshop later this month, which will then be used in their mock interviews in January.
On the first of October, the year 11 GCSE Geography group carried out fieldwork in the town of Carmarthen. There they did various tasks such as counting the flow of pedestrians, carrying out a survey on types of shops and services, and an environmental quality survey as well as questionnaires. A good day with the pupils who surveyed brilliantly!
The pupils have enjoyed learning and using Welsh idioms in their work . Here is a video of them performing their favourite idioms.
