Ysgol Dyffryn Conwy
The headteacher of the school from 2014–2020 was Elan Davies, the first female headteacher of the school in 400 years.
The school was founded as Llanrwst Grammar School in 1610 by Sir John Wynn, which was situated in the building of the 'upper school'. In 1960 it was renamed Ysgol Dyffryn Conwy (Conwy Valley School) to reflect the fact that the school served the wider Conwy Valley. In February 2005 the pupils were all moved to the Sodexo-owned site on Nebo Road.
Examinations
The school offers education for KS3, KS4 and Post-16 students. It offers GCSE, Entry Level examinations for KS4 and AS-level and A-level for Post-16 education. It is a Welsh Joint Education Committee accredited centre for presenting records of national achievement, using the WJEC as an examination board. This school was the first in Conwy to give Year 10 pupils a chance to get a qualification in Physical Education, without taking up the GCSE.
