A Message from the Headteacher

[popup_anything id="10511"]

Prestatyn High School is a transformational school. The outstanding results we achieve for pupils and students, coupled with the first-rate pastoral care we provide, make us an excellent place to grow, develop and gain an education that will prepare young people for the rest of their lives. The school is also transforming the building too! We are working hard to make sure that our facilities are renewed so that all learners can work and develop in a modern, effective environment. These improvements include the new state-of-the-art science labs and the refurbishment of all of our sports facilities. We are exceptionally proud of the work that we do with our pupils and students, and I look forward to welcoming our next cohort of Year 7s so that they can enjoy their time in education and thrive in this academic environment. I am delighted to welcome you to our great school, and I am honoured to be the Headteacher of such a vibrant and successful school.

Mr North Head of Year 7

Welsh

At Prestatyn High School we aim to develop every pupil’s ability to communicate through the medium of the Welsh language and to develop an interest in Wales, Welsh culture and the language.

The ability to communicate effectively through the medium of Welsh is an increasingly important vocational qualification in fields such as local government, public services, the health services, the media, tourism and education. We believe that the knowledge they gain through learning the language contributes to their general education as well as giving all pupils an enhanced opportunity to make a valuable contribution to the society in which they live. Where possible Pupils are encouraged to take part in extra-curricular activities such as a range of Urdd activities.
