The school serves the community of Llanrwst and the many surrounding villages including the rural districts of Betws-y-Coed, Dolgarrog and Cerrigydrudion.

There are around 658 pupils on roll, including 137 in the sixth form, which is lower than the figures at the time of the last inspection in 2014.

The school has recently been moved onto one expanded site which had originally housed years 7-9 only.

It is a Welsh Joint Education Committee accredited centre for presenting records of national achievement, using the WJEC as an examination board.

This school was the first in Conwy to give Year 10 pupils a chance to get a qualification in Physical Education, without taking up the GCSE.
