Location
The school is situated in the heart of the North Wales resort town of Llandudno. It is the only English medium high school to serve the town and its hinterland. Road and rail links along the North Wales coast are excellent and in one hour or less you can be in Chester, Liverpool, Manchester airport, the Holyhead ferry port to Ireland or within the grandeur of the Snowdonia National Park and its mountains.
The school is named after the Victorian radical politician John Bright who came to the town for respite and whose young son was buried here. After almost one hundred years the school had outgrown its previous premises and in September 2004 the new school opened on a 25 acre site with excellent facilities.
Ysgol John Bright has a very varied catchment area. There are nine designated primaries which range in size and type. We serve two of the most deprived wards and two of the most prosperous wards in the town. Indeed inspectors described us as a “truly comprehensive school”. The roll is currently at 1247, with 224 in our vibrant and expanding Sixth Form.

Staff Development
