Welcome to the website of Ysgol Gyfun Gwyr in the City and County of Swansea. It is a great pleasure to invite you to browse through the pages of this website and in so doing to learn about the vibrant life and work of the school and also to share a little of the warm and happy ethos found in our school's community.

Since our inception in 1984, the school has consistently attained very high academic standards at county and national level. The wide ranging and vibrant extra-curricular life of the school has been a notable feature of the school's life and culture from the outset. We delight in our success in every field including academic, cultural and sporting achievements. We take pride in the personal progress of all our pupils whatever their talents and interests.

One of the greatest strengths of the school has always been its caring, open and happy ethos where pupils feel at home and enjoy their education in a totally Welsh environment. One of our main aims as a school is to make learning an exciting and pleasurable experience mainly by ensuring we use teaching and learning methods which are interesting and actively involve our pupils.

Every pupil is regarded as an individual who is an important member of the 'family' of Ysgol Gyfun Gwyr. This fundamental principle of respecting each individual and placing the individual's needs at the centre forms the basis of the school's ethos, values and success as a good school. We are confident that our individual pupils will be proud to be members of this 'family', proud of their Welshness and their bilingualism, and able to contribute to a multi-lingual Wales and Europe.
