St David's College is a private, boarding and day, middle and high school occupying Gloddaeth Hall in Llanrhos, Llandudno, north Wales. The school was founded by John Mayor in 1965 with the aim of offering a whole-person education based on Christian principles and outdoor education. The school also supports children and young adults with learning difficulties and has a whole-school approach to dyslexia with emphasis on developing individual talents.[1][better source needed]

Buildings

It occupies an eclectic variety of buildings such as Gloddaeth Hall, centred on the Minstrel Hall dating from the Tudor period, right up to Chelsea/Augusta Houses and the Keith Lennard Technology Centre, which have all been built in the last few years.[when?]

In 2022 the school began a £15 million refurbishment project. As part of this, the sports hall was demolished in 2022. The site where it stood is planned to be replaced with a performing arts centre.[2] There are also plans to create new rugby and football pitches, and to restore the original chapel.[3]

Boarding houses

It has five boarding houses all situated on the campus grounds:

  • Snowdon (Boys)
  • Tryfan (Boys)
  • Cader (Boys)
  • Augusta (Girls)
  • Hettie (Junior)
