Dorothy Stringer School

We are a lively, vibrant and popular comprehensive school for approximately 1,650 students aged between 11 and 16. We are an outstanding school for many reasons including the excellent academic achievement of students and the wide opportunities it offers outside the classroom in areas such as sport, performance, creativity and service. Dorothy Stringer School has been awarded Healthy School and Eco-School Status and the school also owns an Ecological and Environmental Centre as well as a unique Outdoor Adventure Activities (OAA) Centre - 'Dolawen' in Snowdonia, North Wales. Its reputation for taking good care of students in a safe and happy environment is equally important to me. I believe that schools need to care for the emotional well being of their students and understand their personal needs. It is a happy community where it is safe to learn and where everyone can play their full part both inside and outside the classroom.
