Ysgol Brynrefail is a bilingual secondary school for pupils aged 11–18, situated in Llanrug, Gwynedd, north Wales. There were 714 pupils on roll at the school in 2016.[1] Its current headmistress is Mrs Ellen Williams.[2]
According to the latest Estyn inspection report, 91% come from homes where Welsh is the main language, with 99% speaking it as a first language or to an equivalent standard.[3]
Extra-curricular activities such as the annual Eisteddfod form an important aspect of school life. Around Christmas time, sixth form pupils have the opportunity to organise and host a party for children from a local special needs school.
