Crosskeys College
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Crosskeys College is the largest part of Coleg Gwent and the campus is located next to Risca Road in Crosskeys, near Newport in South Wales. The college was previously a technical college and a coal mining college. However, since the demise of heavy industry in the area over the past decades, the college has now become the leading further education establishment in the area.
Many of the secondary schools in the area are without a sixth-form and so they feed Crosskeys college with students. The majority of students in Crosskeys are studying AS & A2 levels. There are also BTECs, National Diplomas, GNVQs and GCSEs that are available to study.
The main feeder schools for post-GCSE leavers are:
- Newbridge Comprehensive school
- Blackwood Comprehensive
- Pontllanfraith Comprehensive
- Oakdale Comprehensive
- Risca Comprehensive
There are however a number of students from Cwmcarn High School, Abertillery Comprehensive, as well as a large, growing number of students from the Ebbw Vale & Newport secondary schools
