Ysgol Gyfun y Strade ({{IPA-cy|ˈəsɡɔl ˈɡəvɨn ə ˈstradɛ}}) is a Welsh medium secondary school and sixth form in the town of Llanelli, Wales. It opened in September 1977 as a comprehensive school for boys and girls. As of 2017, there were 1,053 pupils enrolled at the school.[1]

The school's motto is "Nid da lle gellir gwell" — literally, (it is) not good where capable of (being) better, i.e. never settle for second-best; or, there is always room for improvement.

The current headmaster is Mr Geoff Evans– originally from Y Bala in Meirionnydd.

The school has a successful rugby team which competes in the Rosslyn Park National School Sevens annually. They were runners up to Millfield School in 2003. The school lost in the semi final the National Urdd Sevens Tournament in 2010. The school's year 8 team won the Urdd National Sevens in 2010 and the same year group also won the under 15s Urdd National Sevens tournament in 2012 and were unbeaten throughout both tournaments. The under 15s also won the Urdd National Sevens tournament in 2013 and were unbeaten in the tournament.

In 2013, the school performed an orginial musical 'Grav' that was based on the life of late rugby star, Ray Gravell. The musical was completely in Welsh and performed by pupils from the school of all ages. It attracted a large audience throughout South Wales; resulting in a shortened version being performed in the National Eisteddfod the following year in Llanelli.

The arts department within the school have also achieved many prospects throughout the nation. The choir have featured numerous times on the BBC, with some members also taking part in the Eurovision Choir of the Year competition in 2017. Many awards have also been won in The National Eisteddfod with recitation groups, choirs, drama performances, solo and duet singing, and public speaking.

The school featured in S4C's Hip neu Sgip?: Yn erbyn y cloc in 2011, in a cafeteria makeover which took place at the school in September 2010.[2][3]
