History

The modern school was formed when the former Pwllheli Grammar School and the Frondeg Secondary Modern Schools merged. These occupied sites at Ysgol Penrallt and Upper Ala Road, respectively. The two schools merged in mid-1969 to form a comprehensive school.
The junior pupils were located at the Ysgol Penrallt site and the senior pupils were located at a new building constructed on Cardiff Road. This new school was subsequently expanded to accommodate all pupils in the 1990s.
