Ysgol y Gader is a bilingual comprehensive school for pupils aged 11–16, which serves the town of Dolgellau and the surrounding area in South Meirionnydd.[1]

The school is categorised by the Welsh Government as a 'Bilingual 2CH' secondary school, meaning that all subjects, except Welsh and English, are taught to all pupils using both languages.[2] According to the lates Estyn inspection report conducted in 2015, 29% of pupils come from homes in which Welsh is the main language, with 94% of pupils being able to speak Welsh to first language standard.[3]

Ysgol y Gader will close in September 2017, to be replaced by a 3-16 all-through school named Ysgol Bro Idris.[4]
