Connah's Quay High School

Connah's Quay High School is a comprehensive secondary school in Connah's Quay, North Wales. It is a non-selective, coeducational state school. Pupils are aged from 11 to 18, and in 2005 it had an enrollment of 893.

The school is part of the Deeside Consortium which shares sixth form education and its Local Education Authority is Flintshire LEA.[1]


A £2.3 million science, English and music wing was completed in October 2002, after a two-year project also involving extensions and redevelopment of the existing buildings. When Prince Andrew, Duke of York visited the school to declare the new block officially open, the opening ceremony was interrupted by a fire alarm caused by a hot tea urn.[2]
