The Alun School was founded in 1880 and currently has 1750 students on roll including over 500 at post-16 level, the largest Sixth Form in Wales. We offer a very wide range of GCSE, A Level and BTEC courses and have an extensive programme of extra-curricular activities. In the most recent inspection of the school, carried out in March 2010, we received the top grade (Grade 1) in every one of the seven inspection categories.
