About Ysgol Aberconwy

Situated in a spectacular location on the Conwy estuary, Ysgol Aberconwy boasts a modern, well maintained and well equipped environment. Whilst the school’s ethos is based on traditional values of respect, responsibility and community spirit, students experience the very latest technology and teaching methods in the classroom.

We have the highest expectations of all our pupils in all areas of school life. Academic standards are important to us and we expect all pupils to achieve the very best that they are capable of. However, we also have the highest expectations of our pupils when it comes to behaviour, attendance, punctuality and uniform.

The pastoral system at Ysgol Aberconwy is extensive and innovative. Each year group has a full time non-teaching Guidance Mentor. Working from a key stage base these mentors are available throughout the day to respond to pupils concerns and to provide a direct contact point for parents.

As well as providing a sense of belonging and a medium for competition, the House System provides the structure for monitoring pupil achievement against their individual subject targets. The four Houses, Crafnant, Dulyn, Hiraethlyn and Llugwy are named for the four tributaries of the river Conwy. Pupils attend weekly House assemblies, compete for their House in a range of competitions and have their progress monitored and reported on by their Head of House.

We have a flourishing extra-curricular programme. This includes a full range of sporting activities in the school’s brand new state-of-the-art facilities as well as music concerts and drama productions. The school owns its own field centre in the hills above Aber and has an extensive outdoor activities programme. Visits are arranged at home and abroad including the annual ski trip and an expedition to the island of Jura. For this year a visit to the USA has been added to the list. There are links on this website to many of these events.
