Half-a-century of teaching at Castell Alun High School
A Flintshire school with an enviable reputation is celebrating its half-century this year.
Castell Alun High School in Hope opened in 1958 and has three distinct chapters in its development.
Originally an 11-16 secondary school it then had a short spell as a junior comprehensive before securing its present status as a leading 11-18 secondary school.
In 50 years Castell Alun has had four headteachers - Geraint Williams, 1958-85; Don Platten, 1985-96; Sandra Mattock, 1996-2002; and the current post holder, David Mountfort.
The school was proud to be the first in Wales to be granted Investors in People status and the first comprehensive in North Wales to gain the highest possible grades in all areas during an ESTYN inspection.
