Ysgol Uwchradd Aberteifi is a bilingual mixed comprehensive for 11-18 year olds with an annual intake of approximately 100 pupils and a Sixth Form of about 90. It was established in 1898, with the original school building still in use alongside many new buildings. The school serves a wide catchment area and is designated a naturally bilingual school, where pupils are taught through both the medium of Welsh and English. The school aims to develop all pupils to their full potential, academically, spiritually, physically and socially. We pride ourselves on the fact that we create a caring atmosphere and ethos, where all pupils are treated equally and with respect. The school offers a wide variety of subjects, and very good external examination results are achieved. Great emphasis is placed on extra-curricular activities, and our pupils are given a host of opportunities to demonstrate and develop their skills. A wide range of activities and educational visits, both at home and abroad, provide rich and varied additions to the formal curriculum.

Ysgol Uwchradd Aberteifi we aim to provide a lively and friendly atmosphere where learning can flourish. Our guiding principle is for every student to succeed, and we believe that success is achieved through hard work. We also appreciate that learning is a social activity and that teamwork is fundamental. That is why we foster in pupils respect for themselves and others, encouraging co-operation and collaboration.

Truly successful education is a partnership between school, pupils, parents and our community, and we aim to develop a future generation who have the self confidence to use their talents and skills for their own benefit and that of the community in which they live. We aspire to enable pupils to develop their abilities and personal characteristics such as initiative, enthusiasm, leadership, perseverance, tolerance, commitment and self-discipline. We share with parents and guardians the same aspirations for our young people – to be happy, safe and successful, and we make every effort to offer our pupils the best academic education, pastoral care and moral direction. A wide range of academic and extra-curricular provision encourages pupil engagement and the development of our pupils’ skills and talents.
