I am very pleased to introduce myself as Head of Builth Wells High School.
The school is a bilingual, 11-18 non-selective comprehensive, situated on a beautiful site on the banks of the River Wye.
The award-winning building has recently had a £2 million extension which was opened in September 2008. The school, which is over-subscribed, is renowned for its friendly, caring atmosphere and high performances in public examinations.
The last Inspection Report states that,
"Builth consistently promotes and achieves high standards in academic, pastoral and extra-curricular activities, and because of its very many significant strengths, justifiably enjoys the total confidence of its community."
I hope you find the information on our website useful.

SWINE FLU |
In the event of an increase in Swine Flu cases, the advice is that anyone who is ill with flu-like symptoms should be kept at home until fully recovered. Brothers and sisters who are well can continue to come to school. The Chief Medical Officer advises that most children and adults with Swine Flu recover fully with rest, plenty of fluids and treatments such as Paracetamol.
Everyone can play their part in reducing the spread of flu by good hygiene, especially washing hands frequently with soap and water and covering the nose and mouth when coughing or sneezing. Dirty tissues should be promptly flushed down the toilet.
The school will endeavour to operate normally and provide quality education at all times. |
