History
History
Ysgol Uwchradd Bodedern opened on 6 September 1977 and the headteacher was Carol Hughes. It replaced the old National School in London Road which was then demolished in 1984. The school's symbol, designed by artist Tegwyn Francis Jones, is a thumb pressing seeds into the earth (hence the motto 'hau i fedi' or 'sowing to harvest'). Initially, it operated as a small primary school, but with the passage of time and growing population in the region, there arose a need for a secondary education facility. In 1956, Ysgol Uwchradd Bodedern was officially established as a secondary school, offering education to students from the surrounding areas. Initially, the school was modest in size, with a few classrooms and limited facilities. However, over the years, it expanded both in terms of infrastructure and academic offerings. During the latter half of the 20th century, Ysgol Uwchradd Bodedern underwent several developments, reflecting changes in educational policies and societal needs. The school adapted to new curricula and teaching methodologies.
