Coleg Gwent News

Coleg Gwent Girls Rugby Academy keep their crown for the third year running after their 17-0 win against Llandovery College in The Welsh Rugby Union National Schools and Colleges U18 Finals.

Coleg Gwent students have competed against hundreds across the country as part of Skills Competition Wales. This year, 113 students demonstrated their ability, competence and knowledge, bringing home a combined total of 17 medals in gold, silver and bronze categories.

BTEC Sports Coaching and Development learner, Lloyd Sheppard, is an endurance athlete specialising in 10km running. With a real love for sport, he decided to pursue a BTEC in the subject he loves at Crosskeys Campus.

Congratulations to three talented Coleg Gwent students who have been selected from hundreds of competitors to represent the United Kingdom in the WorldSkills UK National Squad.

Starting college is a big step that involves adapting to many new things. But we always put our students first here at Coleg Gwent. From academic support to personal wellbeing, we’re always here for you! Libby-Mae Ford, a former student, talks us through her experience of studying A Levels and going on to write a book about mental health called Through the Hourglass.

This year, we've celebrated our best results ever in the WorldSkills UK finals. Not only did we climb into the top three in the UK for both mainstream and foundation competitions, but we’re also now the best performing college in Wales, with 11 skills champions who scooped gold, silver, bronze and highly commended medals. Go team Coleg Gwent!
