Welcome
Christ the Word Catholic School is a Catholic school for learners from the primary and secondary age groups.
It is a true privilege to be entrusted with the responsibility of building upon the great work carried out over the past year by Mr. Foley, supported by the Christ the Word staff and the Prestatyn High School team. Their unwavering dedication, commitment, and expertise have made a lasting impact, and I am deeply grateful for their continued support.
I would also like to thank the Governing Body of Prestatyn High School for enabling and supporting this valuable partnership, which will remain in place as we continue to move forward together.
At the heart of everything we do is our mission: Educating our young in the light of Christ. We are wholly committed to ensuring that every child is given the opportunity to thrive, to grow, and to be their authentic selves while guided by our shared Catholic values.
As a parent myself, I fully understand the trust you place in us every day. Please be assured that I, alongside the leadership team and all staff, will work tirelessly to ensure that Christ the Word continues its journey of improvement, emerging confidently from special measures.
Together—with the support of our pupils, families, staff, governors, and the wider Rhyl community—I am confident we will continue to go from strength to strength, delivering the very best education and care for every child in our school.
Thank you for your ongoing support. I look forward to working with you all in the exciting journey ahead.
