The School has a fortunate location, 200 feet above the sea overlooking Colwyn Bay. Its twelve acres of grounds include playing fields, tennis courts, a large all-weather playing surface, and a wild and wooded play area.
A thriving pre-prep department was opened in September 1995 and an on-going programme of refurbishment ensures that the children enjoy the very best facilities. The main building houses classrooms, art department, changing rooms, dining room, boarding houses and library. Close by are further classrooms, drama hall, music room and a new science/technology building. Swimming pool and squash courts are shared with the senior schools.
There is an experienced, well-qualified staff and the pupil/teacher ratio is one to eleven. The school organises a programme of activities and a large proportion of boys and girls play individual instruments and take extra tuition in Speech and Drama. Sports/activity camps take place each Easter and Summer. Boarding children have their own Housemaster or mistress and matron. Outings and activities are organised each weekend.
We are the preparatory school for the two senior divisions of Rydal Penrhos. Most children proceed naturally to one of the senior divisions at the age of 11 years but we are able to prepare them for other senior independent and state schools when necessary.
