We are fast approaching the end of the autumn term. Same as last year the school will be closing early at 12.20pm on Friday 21st December, to allow students and their families a little extra time together to prepare for Christmas, enjoy a different routine on a Friday afternoon and as a reward 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 lessons as normal.

The school has made all the necessary arrangements for school buses/taxis to be at school early to transport students home.

Students are expected to wear the school uniform on the last day of term. However, they are welcome to join in the Christmas spirit by accessorising their school uniform by adding a little bit of tinsel. If students wish to participate then a small donation is welcomed which will be donated to a local charity.

School re-opens for new term: 

The school re-opens for students on Tuesday 8th January. Monday the 7th January 2019 is a training day for all staff.

We are improving every aspect of the school, putting the pieces into place to make our school a beacon of learning and excellence. These improvements, and the new school uniform, have allowed us to continue to transform Prestatyn High and its community, further raising our aspirations and expectations of what is possible. The future is very bright for all our learners at our great school. These changes and improvements are just the beginning of our journey to be the best school in Wales.

December Mocks 2018 – Timetable-2

Dear Parent/Guardian,

Please be advised that the Year 11 mock examinations period will commence

on Monday, 10th December, 2018. The mock exams period is exactly what it

states; it is a mock opportunity to experience the full examination process. It is

a dress rehearsal for the full performance in the summer. Students will receive

a personalised examination timetable after half-term and any student entitled

to special concessions will be granted these in order to support them fully.

We aim to get as close as practically possible to the real event, going so far

as to hold a mock results day in January whereby students will gather in the

hall and collect their envelope of results experiencing the anticipation that they

will feel on the final results day.

The mock exams are not intended to be threatening or a judgement of ability.

Students should see them as a useful way of improving their knowledge and

memory as well as directing their future efforts. The mocks are also a

powerful tool for teachers and give vital information in relation as to whether

students are sitting the appropriate tier and what support/intervention they

might require.

We believe that the mock exams are highly beneficial for students and ask for

your support to work in partnership with us in encouraging your son/daughter

to take the mock examinations seriously and to ensure they are well prepared

for their mock exams.

This week all students from Years 7-11 have been working with our local police teams to look at anti-social behaviour.  As a school we are take every opportunity to educate our students on how to behave both in school and in the community, and to remind them to be considerate of all members of our community.
