A huge well done to all our learners for making this such an exceptional year. Today’s Rewards Day is a chance to celebrate your efforts, commitment and successes. Let’s join together one last time before a well-earned summer break!

As the academic year comes to an end, we want to thank all our students for their hard work and dedication. We wish you all the best of luck with your exam results – we’ll see you back in September!

Talking about your feelings makes a big difference. A problem shared is a problem halved.

Don’t forget that our twice-termly Wellbeing Mornings are there to help support you to have positive mental health and guide you in taking care of your wellbeing.

Did you know teens need about 8-10 hours of sleep? Sleep helps you feel good, focus on lessons, and handle stress.

Too much screen time can drain your energy. Take breaks, read a book, or hang out with friends offline.

At CQHS, we believe uniforms are part of our culture of high standards, which is why all our learners from Years 7–11 wear the full school uniform with pride.   View our uniform expectations: shorturl.at/q74IG.

When it comes to online safety, setting strong boundaries at home is the first step. We urge parents to regularly check their child’s phones, laptops, and other devices and support responsible use.   See our full safeguarding message here: shorturl.at/4lOxV.

What you eat can boost your mood and energy. Fuel your body with good stuff—it's worth it!

Transitioning to secondary school is a big step.   From induction days to pastoral support, our Year 6–7 transition programme is well underway, and we can’t wait to welcome our new Year 7 this September!

Self-kindness matters. You’re doing your best, and that’s enough. Celebrate every small win!

GCSE Results Day is here. Congratulations to all our students on reaching this milestone.  To every learner collecting their GCSE results today, remember we are proud of you, no matter the outcome.

Congratulations to every single student who collected and celebrated their GCSE results today. All of the hard work and commitment you have put in throughout the academic year can be seen in the results you have achieved! We can’t wait to see where your journey next takes you!

Connah’s Quay High School is proud of all that’s been achieved so far in 2025. As September brings new opportunities, we’re prepared to rest and recharge to make the most of it. Wishing our staff, students and families a wonderful Summer Bank Holiday!

At CQHS, online safety is a shared responsibility between school and home. Our school has shared important reminders for families about online risks and how parents can engage to safeguard their children against harmful online spaces.  Learn more: shorturl.at/4lOxV.

Calling all learners: Remember you need to be on the school site for 8.40am each day, ready for the school day and to ensure you are on time for Lesson 1 which starts at 8.45am. Punctuality is key, start this year on the right foot!

Ensure you have the correct equipment ready for the start of term! Make sure your school bag (now compulsory) is big enough to carry all your equipment to school—your pens, pencils, ruler, eraser, pencil sharpener and scientific calculator!

Welcome back! A new school year means new chances to build friendships, develop skills and create success. Whether you’re new to the Connah’s Quay family or returning from your holidays, we’re excited to welcome every student. Let’s have another great year!

Attendance matters– and every day in school counts towards creating success. Let’s all start strong together and build a brilliant routine for the year ahead. And if you ever find it difficult to attend, remember we’re here to support you and your family, and never to judge you.

Literacy is a whole-school priority at Connah’s Quay. From English to Cymraeg, and through a cross-curricular focus on Literacy, we help learners thrive – reading, writing, speaking and listening. We’re proud to be a school where literacy lives in every lesson.
