Ysgol Uwchradd Bodedern is a co-educational secondary school in Bodedern, Anglesey, Wales first opened in 1977. Although a bilingual school, pupils are taught mostly in Welsh. The current Headteacher is Mrs Catrin Jones Hughes, appointed in 2016
Ysgol Uwchradd Bodedern opened on 6 September 1977 and the headteacher was Mr Carol Hughes. It replaced the old National School in London Road which was then demolished in 1984. The school's symbol is a thumb pressing seeds into the earth (hence the motto 'hau i fedi' or 'sowing to harvest').
There are many levels of Welsh-speaking ability at the school and pupils have the choice of studying a subject through the medium of English or Welsh. This is one of the few truly bilingual schools in Wales. At GCSE, nearly all pupils must study at least two subjects in English and two in Welsh, in addition to English and Welsh as individual subjects.
Contrary to the local myth, there is no entrance exam in Welsh for the school.
There are around 650 pupils at the school. The extensive school facilities are available for public use during the evenings.
