Last week Year 7 enjoyed an activities day. They wrote a letter to their Year 11 selves, created a self portrait, planned for a £5 Charity Challenge, had some CPR training, started their Career Passports and then ended the day with either board games, crafts or a silly sports ‘day’! A very busy but enjoyable day ☺️
Judging the cakes brought in to celebrate the European Day of Languages this year was an impossible task, as they were all fabulous. We decided they all deserved to be winners!
The students were invited to decorate a cake with a European theme. England, Wales, France and Italy were chosen.

On Wednesday some students had a great time at the Welsh Mountain Zoo for their rewards trip. The students that went to Alton Towers also had a great day but they were too busy on the rides for any photos!

Yesterday close to 100 Sixth Form students enjoyed a day out to Manchester's Old Trafford stadium to attend the UK University Search Autumn University and Apprenticeships Fair. The event was a wonderful opportunity to speak with a multitude of exhibiting universities and apprenticeship providers including: Russell Group; red brick and modern institutions, as well as apprenticeship providers and local colleges.
The fair also featured a wide range of seminars including: UCAS Personal Statement & Application Advice; Why take an Apprenticeship; Choosing a University Course; Higher and Degree Apprenticeships and Student Finance.
As always, a fun part of the visit was the mad scramble for free university merchandise with Hull University's chips seasoning a firm favourite!
Our students were a credit to the school and community from start to finish representing the very best of Llandudno and surrounding area. Da iawn pawb!

Mexico 2026: week 1.
Our first week in Mexico was spent in the Calakmul biosphere reserve. Sleeping in tents in the peace of the Operation Wallacea camp, students took part in bird, bat, reptile and butterfly surveys, as well as mammal tracking. We identified fresh prints from jaguar, puma, margay and tapir, and were also lucky enough to see spider monkeys overhead each day, a Baird's tapir wallowing in the aguada and a stunning variety of birds and reptiles around camp. Students collected data, helped input the data into various formats, and learnt about the importance of biodiversity surveying in conservation. A visit to one of the ancient Mayan temples made week one an absolutely unforgettable experience.

A huge well done to some of our students who competed in the Swim Wales National Championship in Swansea over the summer.
Ella came away with a 1 gold and 1 bronze medal. Jess came away with 3 silvers and 2 bronze medals. Michal 2 bronze, 1 silver and 1 gold medal. Jasper 1 silver and 3 bronze medals. This is an outstanding achievement as they were competing against the best swimmers in Wales!

Richard Whitham | 1979 - 2026
As a school community we mourn the untimely death of Mr Richard Whitham earlier this week.
Mr Whitham had worked at Ysgol John Bright since 2005, spending his whole teaching career serving the community of Llandudno. He was able to turn his hand to many subjects with Geography and the humanities as his passion. Mr Whitham was a champion of all students, especially those who find school difficult or struggle to learn. His leadership of the entry level Humanities course and similar throughout the years was exemplary, ensuing generations of young people left Ysgol John Bright with qualifications that reflected their abilities and interests.
The school shows at YJB are legendary; none would be so without Mr Whitham leading the backstage crew and props department. It also served as a true reflection of Mr Whitham’s character - he never wanted to be centre stage, but wanted to serve and help as much as he could, out of the limelight.
As a school we have lost a great teacher; as a staff we have lost a dear friend and colleague. We send our deepest condolences to Mrs Whitham, their daughter Sarah and Mr Whitham’s wider family at this time.
