“The school is highly successful in promoting exceptionally strong levels of pupil wellbeing. This has a significant impact on pupils’ personal development and the standards that they achieve. A culture of high expectation and respect for others permeates all of its work.” – Estyn 2017
Castell Alun High School is a well-established and successful English medium co-educational school catering for over 1330 students. The school serves a large number of communities over a wide catchment area stretching from Dobshill near Hawarden in the North to Llay in the South and from Kinnerton near Chester in the East to Treuddyn in the West.
The campus is located in the pleasant village of Hope, Flintshire, three miles from the border with England and roughly equidistant between Chester and Wrexham.
This provides for a rich and balanced cultural mix of English and Welsh which is reflected in the ethos of the School. We maintain the highest expectations of all our students and endeavor to meet their intellectual, social, and physical needs and assist them to be better equipped to adapt to the changing needs of society. We believe that effective learning cannot be conducted in isolation if it is to be of benefit to the student and society hence our determination to seek out ways of enriching the quality of students’ learning experience by looking upon the wider community as a curriculum resource.
As a comprehensive school, we are concerned with the education of each one of our students and strive constantly to provide wide-ranging opportunities in order to meet the needs of every individual. We aim to create the best possible environment for learning.
Through our pastoral system, the broad varied, and balanced curriculum, and the many extracurricular opportunities offered at Castell Alun, we try to help every one of our students achieve their very best, both intellectually and socially. In return, we expect all of our students to show concern towards fellow students, members of staff, their school, and the wider community.
At Castell Alun, we have always emphasized the importance of school and parents working together in partnership. We believe that commitment to this partnership is essential if each young person is to achieve their full potential. To assist with your choice of secondary school, we offer an invitation for parents to view the school either on the annual year 6 induction day or at any time by prior appointment.
