- Ysgol Uwchradd Tywyn is a friendly and welcoming school to all pupils. We offer a very caring and supportive environment that provides the opportunity for your child to grow educationally and to succeed academically. The Inspection Report of 2006 noted, “Ysgol Uwchradd Tywyn is a good school and it has a large number of outstanding features…..” The high standards we achieve both at KS3 and KS4 are a credit to the hard work of both staff and pupils. Equally, we are proud of the additional achievements of our pupils - whether in Sports, Music, Duke of Edinburgh’s Award, or simply, to become a rounded individual - all are important in developing each pupil’s talents to the full. We pride ourselves in the partnership we nurture and develop between parents and the school and welcome the opportunity to work closely for the benefit of your child. We look forward to meeting you soon, and if you have any queries or concerns, please contact me, or arrange an interview at a mutually convenient time. Ysgol Tywyn is a bilingual comprehensive school that celebrated 120 years in 2014. The site is about 100 yards from the High Street of Tywyn, which is a small coastal town in south Gwynedd with a population of some four thousand. The school, with 297 pupils on roll in September 2018, and 15 full-time teaching staff, (including Senior Management Team) 5 part-time staff, and 8 Learning Support Staff, is an 11-16 school. 16+ pupils travel to a variety of colleges/schools in Gwynedd, Powys Dyfed, and beyond, though the majority go to Coleg Llandrillo (Dolgellau). The approximate annual catchment intake of 55 pupils comes from four primary schools, stretching from Craig y Deryn, Llanegryn to the north, Corris to the east, and Pennal to the south, and thus many travels some distance to school. In addition, several trips from outside the catchment area. The home and educational background of the pupils is varied and includes those who come from a home where both parents are Welsh-speaking, to those whose knowledge of Welsh is very limited, only having moved into the area recently. The school aims to offer a friendly and welcoming atmosphere that supports a learning and working environment and to this end has always aimed to involve parents actively in their children’s educational well-being.

My guiding principle is every student counts, and We believe that success is achieved through hard work and effective support. We also appreciate that learning does not just take place in the classroom and that experiential learning is as important in a child's development. Therefore, We see an important role that we play in ensuring we create as many positive experiences as we can. It is always my intention to support pupils to take advantage of all possible opportunities that come their way and create memories that last a lifetime.
