One of the country's 'leading independent schools' has brought all its pupils under one roof for the first time in its 109-year history.

St Gerard's School in Bangor has made the move following a summer of investment at its Ffriddoedd Road site.

This includes a new car park and toilet block, access, fencing, furniture, signage, a roof overhaul, and a £150,000 revamped heating system featuring 'seven state-of-the-art' boilers.

The school, which 'secured some of the best GCSE and A-Level results in Wales', is now looking forward to further developments in the coming months.

Headteacher Campbell Harrison said: "Bringing the primary school children into the main building and investing further in the facilities for them – including new uniforms – and all our learners was crucial.

"We want to make this a warm, welcoming environment for everyone, following a 16 per cent rise in pupils over the last 12 months, and have done so with these improvements."

Future proposals for the site centre around sports facilities, including five-a-side pitches, tennis courts, and a Multi-Use Games Area (MUGA).

Business manager Steve Griffiths said: "We have invested significantly in chairs, desks, equipment and more for the pupils, so both the internal and external areas of the school have been transformed.

"The sixth form common room and libraries will also undergo refurbishment – including digital platforms and screens – and the sports provision is another major development, with us already applying for planning permission for floodlights to extend usage of the facilities.

"We have big plans but most importantly, given the incredible results achieved by our learners in the summer, the academic side is going from strength to strength."
