Ysgol Gyfun Trefynwy

We are a large and successful secondary school in Monmouthshire - you can read our latest Estyn report attached. We number around 1,700 students and 200 staff, and we are over-subscribed in every year group. We have the benefit of a magnificent award-winning school building.

Our approach to Curriculum for Wales is founded on the importance of subjects and on the principle of powerful knowledge. Our work on this is the subject of a recent Estyn case study (www.estyn.gov.wales/effective-practice/knowledge-rich-approach-curriculum-wales). Our pedagogy is founded on the research evidence of learning.

We host an integrated Specialist Resource Base, which is also the subject of a recent Estyn case study for its exceptionally strong provision. (https://www.estyn.gov.wales/effective-practice/integrated-approach-specialist-provision)

You will find us to be a supportive, collaborative group of colleagues, who work to provide an exceptional standard of education for all of the students in our care. A full induction programme and meaningful professional learning is offered to all staff.
