Many events have been planned to mark this historic milestone throughout the academic year and will be published on the school website.

A concise history of Ysgol Rhiwabon has been documented and produced by Callum Edwards, a current member of staff, using ‘Remembering Ruabon’ by T.W Pritchard and ‘Ruabon Grammar School’ by Dennis W Gilpin, which covers the history of the school, previous headteachers and notable former students, plus many more interesting aspects of the schools past.
