Hawarden High School
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hawarden High School is a high school in Hawarden, Flintshire, north Wales. It is part of the Flintshire LEA.
The school traces its history back to 1606 when a single-classroom grammar school was established with £300 left by a local resident named George Ledsham.
In 1998, the school completed a £4m extension which provided a new school hall, a sports centre extension, expansion of the Technology department and a new drama studio, as well as other numerous improvements. The extension was officially opened by HRH Queen Elizabeth II in March 1998, on her visit to Flintshire.
