Dear parent / carer

I hope you are all well and enjoying the current heatwave.

Looking at the weather next week, the Met Office are forecasting much cooler weather.

Therefore, from Monday all pupils are expected to be in full school uniform including wearing their blazer.

Many thanks for your anticipated support.

Regards,

PHS

It has been a day to celebrate the achievements of our Year 11 pupils. We are extremely proud of them all and delighted to see so many of them achieve top GCSE grades. 

We would also like to thank our dedicated and committed staff for guiding our learners in ensuring they were prepared for their GCSEs.

We would also thank our parents / carers, community and governors for their support and tireless energy.

Mr Foley, the exceptionally proud Headteacher commented:  

These excellent results are testament to the hard work and resilience of our amazing pupils. Our Year 11s have worked alongside all staff in the school  to achieve these remarkable results. Well done and good luck with the next stage of your education journey. 

I am sure our pupils will all go onto even greater success, with many of them embarking upon A-levels with us in our 6th form. 

To the class of 2023; we are so proud of you.

The Sixth Form at Prestatyn High has achieved great results yet again. Our students continue to make exceptional progress, achieving some of the best grades possible. The school, all our staff, and the community, are so proud of our young people and we wish them well in the next stage of their academic careers. These achievements are even more special when you take into account the disruption to education over the past few years.

Mr Foley, Headteacher, was absolutely delighted with the results and said:

“These results are a testament to the hard work and endeavour of our students and the tireless efforts of the whole school staff. The students and the staff all went the extra mile to ensure that the outcomes for the Class of 2023 were some of the best we have ever had. Well done to Year 13; we wish you the very best for the future.”

Sian Reed, Head of Prestatyn High Sixth Form said,

“ I am delighted with the results that our students have achieved this year. The level of commitment from this year’s cohort has been truly remarkable and I look forward to following their future successes. Well done, and good luck, to the Class of 2023.”

On the 29th and 30th of June the Prestatyn High School F1 in schools team attended the UK final held in Leeds University.

The F1 in schools is run as part of the schools enrichment program. The team consisting of Theo Mc Chesney, Harrison NG and George Porter had to design, engineer and make a model F1 car and then present their designs to a panel of judges along with racing them against 32 other teams from around the UK.

The team had a brilliant time meeting the other teams that were there. The team would like to thank the people  and companies that supported and sponsored the team enabling us to a attend the final who are Prestatyn High School, Prestatyn Rotary Club, Mark 1 Cars,

RTB Tech, Youth Shedz and Drivers of Prestatyn.

We hope to enter the competition again next year. If any companies are willing to support or sponsor us please get in touch via the high school.

Dear Parents / Carers,

I do hope this letter finds you well and that you are looking forward to a nice summer with your families.

It has been another successful and immensely rewarding year for everyone associated with Prestatyn High School. So many good and exciting events have occurred during the year, reflecting our vision of achievement for all through positivity and responsibility. I am exceptionally proud of the staff; they have worked tirelessly to ensure all our pupils and students are supported academically and that their wellbeing is a priority for us all. I was also incredibly proud that our hard work was validated by our inspection in February; please do take the time to read our report on the Estyn webpage.

As in previous years, and in recognition for the hard work our pupils have put in over the year, I am pleased to announce that the school will be closing early at 12.20pm on Wednesday 19th July. This day will also be a non-uniform day. Pupils wearing their own clothes are encouraged to make a £1 donation which will be donated to a local food bank.

Pupils 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 pupils home.

I understand that many of you may currently be facing much bigger challenges than education, which is why we will look to provide wider support to you, and your family, wherever possible. If you do require additional support, please do not hesitate in contacting the school.

In the last few weeks, we have allowed pupils to not wear their blazers due to the very hot weather. Please remind your son / daughter that we expect all pupils in full uniform when they return in September.

School re-opens for new term:

The school re-opens for students on Tuesday 5th September. The 1st (Friday) and 4th (Monday) of September are staff training days.

I look forward to seeing our Years 13, 12 and 11 during the summer holidays as they collect their examination results; more information will be available on our website.

I would like to wish everyone a lovely and safe break, and I look forward to welcoming our students back in September in full uniform, refreshed, and ready to achieve.

Many thanks for your support, as always, this year.

Yours faithfully,

Neil Foley - B.Sc. MA
