A SECONDARY school ranked in the top five in Wales is attracting students from across the region to its sixth form. 

Ysgol Eirias in Colwyn Bay is preparing for an 'Opportunities Evening Event' that will showcase its post-16 offering and academic support.

The school - listed fourth in Wales in the Sunday Times Parent Power league table earlier this month – will hold the session from 5.30pm-7.30pm on Tuesday January 16. 

Zoe Evans, headteacher, said: "We are proud of our sixth form provision, as in addition to award-winning teaching from subject teachers who have a wealth of experience, we provide a strong support network which provides our learners with the care they need to help them thrive both personally and academically."

Recognised by Estyn and national awarding bodies – Ysgol Eirias was also named Secondary School of the Year at the North Wales Education Awards.

Dr Michael Greenslade, Head of Sixth Form, said: "We are very proud of our A Level results, which are consistently high – in 2023, our learners gained 36 per cent A/A*and 60 per cent A*-B, and there were 42 A* grades awarded – and every pupil that applied to university was successful.

"We offer a wide range of subjects and ensure all students can take the courses that best suit them, helping them to gain the most appropriate educational experience at this stage.
