}}Blessed Edward Jones Catholic School, (also known informally as "Blessed teds") is a Catholic co-educational voluntary aided secondary school situated on Cefndy Road, in Rhyl, Denbighshire. It was founded in September 1965 to serve the Catholic population of the surrounding area.[1]

It is one of three Catholic secondary schools in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Wrexham, the others being St Joseph's Catholic & Anglican High School, Wrexham, and St Richard Gwyn Catholic High School, Flint. It teaches pupils from the ages of 11 to 16, so does not have a sixth form.

History

In September 1965, the school was founded to provide education for children of Catholic families in Rhyl, Colwyn Bay, and Llandudno. It is situated next to a feeder primary school, Ysgol Mair.[2]

It was named after Blessed Edward Jones, who was a Welsh Catholic martyr in the 16th century, who baptised an Anglican, before becoming a Catholic priest.

In October 2012, it was inspected by Estyn who reported that its performance was Good.[1]

Christ the Word Catholic School

In 2013, plans were made by Denbighshire County Council, the local education authority, to build a new dual faith school for Anglicans and replace the existing Catholic schools in the county. Originally, the plan was to merge Blessed Edward Jones, Ysgol Mair in Rhyl and St Brigid's School in Denbigh, and include the Anglican Diocese of St Asaph.[3] Later, the Diocese of St Asaph pulled out of the plans as did St Brigid's School.

The name of the new school became Christ the Word Catholic School. It will open in 2019 and is built on the site of Blessed Edward Jones and Ysgol Mair, replacing the two schools. It will teach pupils aged 3 to 16 years old.[4] The cost of the building is £23 million and it is being built by Kier Construction.[5]
