Story Ysgol Dyffryn Ogwen is a bilingual school in Bethesda in the Ogwen Valley in Gwynedd, north Wales, with 374 pupils. Some of the buildings date from 1895 when a County School was established here, but the present comprehensive school dates from 1951. An extension to the school was opened by Professor Sir Idris Foster. The motto of the school is "Bydded goleuni" The school is fed by primary schools in the surrounding villages: Ysgol Llanllechid, Ysgol Pen y Bryn, Ysgol Rhiwlas, Ysgol Tregarth and Ysgol Bodfeurig. The school has an intake of 70-90 pupils per year. Around a quarter of pupils will go on to study A-Levels.According to the latest Estyn report, 84% of pupils come from homes where Welsh is spoken by at least one parent.2006 Estyn Inspection ReportThe 2006 Estyn School Report noted:All pupils belong to the white ethnic group.
