Welcome to the school of choice
Welcome to Ysgol Y Grango
We are a mixed secondary school for students between 11 and 16 years of age, situated in the rural village of Rhosllannerchrugog, with approximately 500 students on roll.
The school, dating from 1906 and rebuilt in 1985, serves its strong knit local community and other nearby villages, less than five miles from Wrexham city centre.
We are a family
At Ysgol y Grango, we are a family and advocate the importance of belonging – cynefin. We aim to promote a love of learning within a safe, nurturing and ambitious learning environment, where individuals matter, and their happiness and wellbeing are of paramount importance.
We are large enough to deliver a broad and balanced curriculum, while being small enough to provide the bespoke care and attention our students require to enable them to be a success.
We Are, We Care, We Share
Core values
The ethos of the school is firmly embedded in our core values of kindness, honesty, integrity, respect, high aspirations, resilience and self-belief. We have an excellent pastoral care system and diverse programme of extra-curricular activities to ensure that all our learners have the opportunity to thrive.
Furthermore, we embrace the culture and language of Wales, provide access to up to date technology and prepare our students for life in the 21st Century.
Inspiring ACTions
Fulfilling Lives
Our school motto, Inspiring ACTions – Fulfilling Lives: We Are, We Care, We Share”, embodies our belief in the power of education to transform the lives of young people. Our highly committed staff challenge our students academically, morally and socially day after day.
We work with our students to ensure they receive appropriate levels of support both academically and pastorally to realise their potential. We want all our students to be brave, bold, curious and resilient.
As Headteacher, my vision for your child is for them to maximise their academic potential, whatever that may be.
We want your child to flourish into a well-rounded individual, to be independent, confident and forward thinking, able to fully contribute to this vibrant school community and beyond. We will provide guidance, encouragement and support for your child to become an adult of whom you and we are proud.
It is a privilege to be the Headteacher of Ysgol Y Grango and we hope that this website provides you with the information you require, however, should you require any additional guidance then please do contact the school. We look forward to welcoming you to our family in the future.
Ms V Brown – Headteacher
