Argoed High School

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Argoed High School is a secondary school in Flintshire, Wales. It was built in Bryn-y-baal in 1978 as the then Clwyd County's first purpose built 11-16 school at a time when the county authorities were proposing to introduce a tertiary system. The first head teacher was Bryn Ellis. The school has stayed the same for most of its 28 years but recent building work started by Alison Brown (the school's third headteacher) has seen a new reception and sports hall. The school has enjoyed much academic and sporting success, with its GCSE results being some of the best in Wales.
