Ysgol Rhiwabon ("Ruabon School") is a historic comprehensive school in Ruabon, Wrexham, Wales for 11- to 18-year-olds. The current headteacher is Melanie Ferron-Evans. In 2003 the Estyn Report concluded that "Ysgol Rhiwabon provides good opportunities for pupils' academic, personal and social development".

In 2009 there were nearly 950 pupils on the school roll but enrollment has fallen substantially in subsequent years to around 600. The sixth form has a 98% pass rate at A Level.[1]

In 2015 the school received an unfavorable report from Estyn and a subsequent poor evaluation in January 2016 placed the school in special measures[2]. The school has continued to receive special intervention by the local authority but as of September 2017 was still ranked as "Red" (the lowest available ranking)[3] and continues to require additional support.

In December 2017 the school was removed from special measures and ranked as "Amber".

History

The school was founded in 1575 and was housed in one of the church's outbuildings, The building still exists to this day, but due to expansion the school was relocated to the site on penycae road in 1858, the red terracotta buildings are still preserved. The comprehensive seen today was formed in 1967 by amalgamating the existing Ruabon Boys' Grammar School and the Ruabon Girls' Grammar School. The school is now housed in the buildings of the former girls' grammar school. The site of the former boys' grammar school has been redeveloped for housing with the original buildings being conserved and the name "Old school court" was thought up by a pupil of the school

The school underwent a major building project in 2003 which included a state of the art library and a huge new sports centre; it was opened by ex-pupil Mark Hughes.
