Ysgol John Bright 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. 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. It was built as part of a PFI project and a facilities management company handles caretaking, cleaning, and catering.

High expectations and inspirational teaching and learning are central to my educational beliefs. Gaining skills and qualifications at school opens doors for progression in the future and I want every child to aspire to achieve at the highest level. The working world is becoming increasingly demanding and competitive and young people need to be even more prepared and qualified for future progression. The school has a very strong platform with which it can continue to improve. The Estyn judgment last November was very positive and results in this summer have continued the trend of improvement so there is much to celebrate.
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.

Ysgol John Bright has a very varied catchment area. Nine designated primaries 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 have previously described us as a “truly comprehensive school”.
