Number of pupils: 537

It is with great pride and pleasure that I introduce Ysgol Rhiwabon. We are a caring, family school with excellent community links with Ruabon and its surrounding villages. Ysgol Rhiwabon has a proud heritage, which provides us with the firm foundations we need to develop the youngsters in our care. At the same time, we are a modern, innovative school with lots of exciting learning experiences available for our students. We continually review provision to ensure that we meet the needs of all our learners.
We have a very caring, hardworking staff in Ysgol Rhiwabon and visitors to our school comment regularly on the calm, happy, family atmosphere where standards of uniform and behaviour are high and where our young people are supported and challenged to be the very best they can be.
We continue to be one of few schools in Wales in the Prince’s Teaching Institute which involves our staff and students in outstanding training. As part of this, two of our students were invited to represent schools from across the UK in a Prince’s Teaching Institute Conference and they have both featured in national publications, commenting on inspirational teaching. Staff from our school are asked regularly to be consultants for the Princes’ Teaching Institute. This year we will lead in Science, History and at Senior Management Level. This keeps Ysgol Rhiwabon at the forefront of best practice across the UK.
In recent times our school has improved in so many ways, modernising and responding to the many changes which face our staff every year. Ysgol Rhiwabon is founded on strong traditional values, and it is this which will lead to our continued success in the future. We look forward to developing even stronger links in the village and beyond as our young people and staff see opportunities to learn and contribute both in school and the local and wider community. This is particularly important as we embrace the significant reforms which will develop education in Wales for future generations.
We are very proud of our school and the many achievements of our students and staff. We look forward to sharing this with you when you visit us.
