Ysgol Uwchradd Aberteifi, translated as Cardigan Secondary School is a bilingual secondary school in Cardigan, Ceredigion, Wales. It offers secondary education from ages 11 to 18, incorporating GCSEs and A-Levels in its sixth form. The motto is Egni a Lwydd (Energy Succeeds).
The school is categorized as a 'Bilingual (Type C)' school by the Welsh Government, meaning that 50 - 79% of subjects, excluding Welsh and English, are taught through the medium of Welsh but are also taught through the medium of English.[1][2] According to the latest Estyn report in 2022, 21.3% of pupils spoke Welsh at home.[3]
Mrs Nicola James was the school's Headteacher for twelve years until her retirement in August 2024.
The school appeared on S4C's Hip neu Sgip?: Yn erbyn y cloc in 2011, as part of a garden makeover item which took place at the school in September 2010.[citation needed]
The school is referenced in the 2020 fiction book 'A Deadly Education' by Naomi Novik, (p.114) as attended by the protagonist Galadriel Higgins.
