Ysgol Glan Clwyd (old building)(pre 2017)

Ysgol Glan Clwyd (or Ysgol Uwchradd Glan Clwyd) is a Welsh medium secondary school, and was the first of its kind. It opened in 1956, initially at Rhyl on the coast before moving inland to St Asaph in 1969. It is overseen by the Denbighshire Local Education Authority.

Present

In 2022 it had 1034 students, of whom 108 were in the sixth form. A government inspection reported that although 70% students are from homes where English is the main or only language spoken, 95% of the students spoke Welsh as well as a native speaker. All subjects are taught in Welsh apart from English and a few in the sixth form.

There is a class for non-Welsh speakers to learn Welsh. Later in school, these pupils join mainstream classes.

The school has been reconstructed and refurbished in regards to Denbighshire County Council's twenty-first century school modernisation plan. The new building and refurbishment officially opened in September 2017, but pupils were moved into the building when the school opened in January 2017.
