This will mean secondary school meals will rise to £2.25 per day and there will be minimal price rises on some individual menu items. The equivalent cost of free school meals will also rise accordingly.

Prestatyn High bucks the trend of falling GCSE results in Wales including a 19% increase in A*-C grades in English Language.
Prestatyn High has achieved excellent results this year at GCSE. This has been achieved at a time when all exams and courses are significantly more difficult and challenging.
Across Wales, many schools have seen their percentage of pupils achieving a C grade at GCSE in English, Maths and 3 other subjects drop significantly, some schools falling by over 20%.
Prestayn High has minimised the impact of the new qualifications and achieved excellent results including an unprecedented 19% increase in the number of pupils achieving C or above in English language GCSE!
There have also been many outstanding individual performances this year with many more pupils achieving A and A* grades.
New Headteacher Neil Foley said “These results are fantastic for our pupils who can now go on and study their chosen A-Levels. They are even more astonishing when you look at the national data and realise how much more difficult it was this year to achieve well in many subjects. This is the culmination of 12 months hard work, grit and determination and I would also like to thank all of the parents for their support and the staff for their tireless energy”.
Enrolment for the Prestatyn High 6th Form is at 1.30pm on Monday 4th September.

Best A-level results ever as standards rise at Prestatyn High School. Students are celebrating following the publication of the 2017 A-level results.

Glen Vernon, Head of Prestatyn High Sixth Form said,
“These significant increases are unprecedented. All the students and staff have worked extremely hard this year and I am delighted to see them rewarded”.
The vast majority of PHS students have achieved their potential and can now continue on to their University of choice this reflects real dedication, commitment and the support their teachers, families and friends.
Mr Foley, Headteacher was absolutely delighted with the improved results and said
“After pushing and demanding the highest standards from the students all year we are amazed with what our students have achieved. They are a credit to the school, their families but most of all to themselves. They have done the hard work and now can go on and achieve their dreams. Well done to all staff and students”.

Dear parents/carers
We are fast approaching the end of the summer term. This year the school will be closing early at 1.30pm on Friday 21st July. This is an opportunity to reward our students for all their hard work.
However, I am keen to stress that I do not expect to see a dip in attendance just because it is a shortened day. Students are expected to attend school and attend lessons as normal. The school has made all the necessary arrangements for school buses/taxis to be at school early to transport pupils home.
School re-opens for new academic year: The school re-opens for students on Wednesday 6th September. The 4th and 5th of September are training days for all staff.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the students and parents of Prestatyn High School for all their support this year. My first year as headteacher at Prestatyn High School has been hugely successful and we, as a school, are making good progress to achieve the best outcomes for all our young people. Indeed, during the recent Estyn visit they praised the school for the rapid progress we are making in achieving our goals.
I look forward to seeing our years 13, 12, 11 and 10 during the summer holidays as they collect their examination results; more information will be available on our website. I’d like to wish everyone a lovely and safe break, and I look forward to welcoming our students back in September.
Yours faithfully,
Neil Foley – B.Sc. MA
