WIDER LEARNING
Rhyl High School firmly believes that pupils need to be true independent learners.
They need to learn to manage their own time effectively to achieve the outcomes they are capable of.
Therefore, as a school we expect pupils to understand that learning does not stop at the end of the school day.
This is to support the pupils to get the best GCSE grades that they can achieve and is about the pupils investing in themselves and their futures.
Expectations
