Alun School


Alun School is a secondary school located in the community of Mold, Flintshire, Wales. It is part of the Flintshire LEA. It was formed in 1970 as a result of the merger of the Alun Grammar School and the Daniel Owen Secondary Modern School.
Some of the school's present buildings date from 1938, the remainder being opened on the formation of the current comprehensive or built in the years since. In 1989 the roll stood at 1432 and by 2009 it was 1762 students with over 550 students in the Sixth Form and over 120 teachers. The main school remains over-subscribed and the Sixth Form is one of the biggest in Wales. Current data is available at www.mylocalschool.gov.wales
In an inspection of the school that took place in March 2010 it received the top grade in all seven of the inspection categories, and was described as a "very good school with many outstanding features". The most recent inspection of the school in April 2016 graded it as 'good' for both current performance and prospects for improvement. Both reports can be viewed at www.estyn.gov.wales
The school is sometimes known colloquially as Mold Alun, to distinguish it from the nearby Castell Alun secondary school in Hope.
