At Rydal Penrhos, we have always believed that the right environment is not a luxury. It is the foundation.

When our founding headmaster Thomas Osborn established his own school in the 1880s, he chose North Wales for a reason.

Today, in 2026, we choose everything that North Wales makes possible.

When Sixth Form Boarding opens in September, our enviable position will place boarders minutes from the beach. Eryri (Snowdonia), one of the most awe-inspiring regions in Europe, famed for outdoor adventure and stunning natural beauty, is under thirty minutes away.

There is a quality of calm here that is increasingly rare — and incredibly powerful for young people looking to make the most of their Sixth Form years.

Young people today grow up as the distracted generation. Endless data, content, notification pings, and forces pulling them away from the simplicity of just being a school pupil, doing their best.

Sixth Form Boarding at Rydal Penrhos, on the North Wales coast, is a considered alternative to that way of life. It is an environment where pupils are seen as individuals, supported with purpose, and challenged to reach their potential.

Academically, the outcomes speak for themselves. Exceptional A-Level results are our trademark, but Sixth Form Boarding in North Wales offers so much more. Being within easy reach of all types of outdoor education – sailing, climbing, hiking, to mention just a few – gives rise to an extraordinary extracurricular offer.

These activities will feature in weekend programmes, which also include cultural trips across North Wales, and regular excursions to Manchester and Liverpool, ensuring pupils continue to benefit from all cities have to offer.

Much of the North West is under an hour away. Accessible — but removed enough to matter.
