Ysgol Uwchradd Aberteifi is a bi-lingual 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, 35% of pupils come from homes in which Welsh is the main language. However, 52% of pupils speak Welsh as a first language or to an equivalent standard.[3]

Academic Standards

The school is commended for its School Council, with it being awarded Outstanding by the 2015 Estyn Inspection. Its structure and conduct are now being demonstrated to schools all across the country with aim for other schools to adopt a similar, and very focused approach to understanding the needs of the pupil. Pupil Welfare was also rated outstanding in this inspection, and is testament to all the hard work put in to better the school enironment for all students.

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.[4]
