History of Ysgol Morgan Llwyd

Ysgol Morgan Llwyd opened in the 1960s, as the first Welsh medium secondary school in Wrexham. Originally on Stockwell Grove, Wrexham, the school became popular and its student population grew. In the 1990s a new home for the school was found - Cartrefle, the site of a former teacher's training college. Building work to expand its facilities were carried out and in 2000 the school finally re-opened. A nearby school sang for members of the council and the then First Minister, Rhodri Morgan, was also present. Ysgol Morgan Llwyd is now regarded as one of the most modern schools in Wrexham. St. Christopher's school moved to the old site of Ysgol Morgan Llwyd.
