Our main priority at Elfed High School is to ensure the best possible experiences and outcomes for each student. Our goal is to create confident, enthusiastic and progressive learners who have the ability to cope with day to day challenges as effective lifelong learners. By offering diverse and rich experiences we create resilient, innovative, balanced and reflective learners.
At Elfed High School we believe in creating opportunities beyond the curriculum set by the government. Whilst we are proud of our examination results, we know that those alone do not make for a well-rounded person; we are committed to developing the whole child.
All assessment information should help learners to improve their learning. The use of good quality, consistent information plays a significant role in promoting improvement from learner level through to system level. It needs to be valid, reliable, manageable and meaningful for teachers, learners and other audiences.
There are several sessions of formal examinations during the academic year – both official examinations and internal examinations.
For admission to Elfed High School, please contact the Local Education Authority on 01244 704068.
Please note that school admission is under the control of Flintshire and not the school. We will be happy to discuss the ways in which we can support your child’s transition to Elfed when a place is awarded. We pride ourselves in the level of support that your child will receive and look forward to discussing this with you.
The school holds an Open Evening for Year 5 and 6 students annually in October. Prospective pupils and their parents/carers are able to visit faculty areas, talk to our students and discover the ethos at the heart of Elfed High School.
Visitors discover the meaning behind our ethos of “Achieving Excellence Together”. Students’ work is open to scrutiny but more importantly are the conversations with the students and staff themselves.
Transition from primary to secondary is a very exciting time in every child’s career. We are proud of our comprehensive support programme, Smooth Moves, which begins for students in the locality from as young as Year 3.
For students joining us from further afield, we have the Smooth Moves Plus programme, which ensures that all students, wherever they may be joining us from, are able to settle in and make new friends within the Elfed community.
