WELCOME TO GREENHILL

It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to Ysgol Greenhill 11 - 19 school.

Making a choice for your child's secondary education is a very important decision, and I can assure you that the staff at the school will do their very best to ensure your child is happy and we will help them to achieve their full potential.

We are very proud of our open and inclusive school, where our strong values of kindness and respect are important as we strive to nurture every child through opportunity, whilst learning in a supportive community.

I'm sure that your child will enjoy their time here, and will have ample opportunity to thrive academically, socially and culturally via an extensive range of both curricular and extra-curricular activities.

The move to a new school is an exciting step in the education pathway of each pupil. It is our aim to provide a safe,

positive learning environment for each individual to reach their potential at Ysgol Greenhill School.

Success is based on an active partnership between parents, pupils and staff.

We look forward to welcoming your child to Ysgol Greenhill School and to working with

you in a productive working relationship.
