Ysgol Clywedog - Reorganisation

Reorganisation

In 2001, Wrexham County Borough Council decided to reorganise the secondary schools of Wrexham to solve the problem of surplus places and to update ageing infrastructure by merging the three town schools. The Groves High School,St Davids High School and Ysgol Bryn Offa were closed in July 2003. This was opposed by several staff, parents and pupils of all three schools, and a petition bearing more than 1000 names was made during 2002, but was largely ignored after the Welsh Assembly Government reinforced the local councils decision. In 2003 two new schools were established on the sites of St.Davids and Bryn Offa.In the same year work began on the new schools.The Groves site was used to house Rhosnesni High School in 2003/04 and Ysgol Clywedog in 2004/05

Both Ysgol Clywedog and Rhosnesni High School were dubbed 'super schools' by the media and the local council and were designed to cater for 1200 pupils each.

In September 2012 Mr Holland succeeded Dr Kirby as Head Teacher of Ysgol Clywedog.
